Virtuoso Stress

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Here’s an interesting item – the webcast of an experiment into performance stress, conducted at the London Science Museum’s DANA Centre in June 2008, using bioengineered equipment to measure musicians’ heart rate, breathing rate and stress response as they perform. What exactly do virtuoso musicians go through when they play live before an audience?

Look out for BAPAM’s Health Promotion Officer, Sanchita Farruque!
