Chills and music performance

The purpose of this study is to understand more about experiences of chills (subjective experiences accompanied by goosebumps, shivers down the spine, or tingling sensations) when performing or playing music.

Please note: by ‘performance’, we mean any situation in which you have played music; this can range from performing as part of a concert, to informal or casual playing with friends or on your own, and anything in between.
