معرفی
Dana Swarbrick is a Doctoral Research Fellow at RITMO, focusing on the social and emotional outcomes of musicking, particularly in live and virtual concert settings. Her work bridges music cognition and social psychology, examining audience engagement, motion, and technological mediation. She holds an MSc from the University of Toronto, where she studied cardiovascular exercise's impact on piano learning, and a BSc thesis on live music's effect on head movements at rock concerts.
Her research encompasses Music Cognition, Social Psychology, and Human-Computer Interaction, with recent studies analyzing virtual concerts during the pandemic. Key articles explore audience motion, musical absorption, and predictive modeling of physical fatigue. She also develops datasets like the MusicLab Copenhagen Dataset for cross-modal analysis.
Swarmick's work intersects Neuroscience (e.g., transcranial stimulation effects on motor learning) and Performance Studies (e.g., string quartet visualization). She investigates how live events and streaming technologies foster connection, with implications for Music Technology and Social Resilience in crises. Her studies often blend experimental psychology and biomechanics, reflecting interdisciplinary rigor.
