Accuracy & Response Time Distribution
This double beeswarm plot shows the distribution of accuracy (top) and response time (bottom) across two types of music: calming and vexing. Each dot represents a single trial performed by a participant.
Dots are color-coded by participant ID and grouped by music type.
On the top chart, we see how accurate participants were under calming vs. vexing music. On the bottom chart, we visualize how fast they responded in each case.
You can hover over participants to highlight their data, or click on a participant to filter the charts.
What it reveals:
Some participants may be more accurate under calming music but
respond faster under vexing music. Others may show the opposite
trend. This chart helps identify individual variability in how music
affects cognitive control and performance.
Mean EDA by Trial
This line chart tracks the average Electrodermal Activity (EDA) - a common stress indicator - over time across 16 trials. We compare EDA responses during calming music and vexing music sessions.
The purple line shows average EDA under calming music.
The orange line shows EDA under vexing music.
The chart updates dynamically based on participant and session type filters.
What it reveals:
Higher EDA typically reflects greater physiological arousal or
stress. Here, we can explore whether vexing music consistently
elicits higher stress responses or whether calming music helps
reduce arousal over time.
Average Mood over the Study
Your mood while studying is important (see the study). Research shows that positive emotions not only boost motivation but also enhance memory consolidation and understanding of new material.
What it reveals:
In this interactive visualization, you'll see how participants' average
"happiness" levels fluctuate round by round as they perform an N-back
working-memory task under two musical conditions, calming versus vexing.
Each frame displays a simple emoticon (and its numeric happiness
probability) that represents the group's mean affect for that trial. When
all rounds are complete, the view shifts to a summary, revealing each
music type's overall average happiness. By comparing these two
profiles side by side, you can immediately grasp which musical
backdrop fosters a more positive study mood, and, by extension,
potentially stronger learning outcomes.
EDA vs. Accuracy Dashboard
This interactive scatterplot shows how physiological arousal (mean EDA) relates to cognitive accuracy on each trial, under both calming and vexing music.
Each point is one trial. Color indicates the music session (Calming vs. Vexing). Use the Controls panel on the right to:
- Filter by participant Gender
- Filter by Task Type (1-back or 3-back)
- Limit to trials ≤ 31 via the slider
The X-axis is mean EDA (μS); the Y-axis is trial accuracy (0–100%). Hover a point to see participant, trial number, and exact values.
What it reveals:
Explore whether higher arousal correlates with better or worse
performance, and how this relationship changes with music type.
