Libby and I, with others from Bond University worked on a paper "Using Virtual Reality to Evaluate the Impact of Room Acoustics on Cognitive Performance and Well-Being" which looked at cognitive reponses to acoustic changes in an education setting.
Libby and her team at Bond also worked on a study with Resonate Acoustics "Open-plan office noise is stressful: Multimodal stress detection in a simulated work environment" which looked at responses to noise in office settings.
