Lab Managers
Graeme Noble
Lab Manager, Webmaster, & Independent Research Assistant @ Digital Music Lab
BSc in PNB (Mental Health Spec.) @ McMaster University
MEd in Curriculum & Pedagogy – Level 1 @ University of Toronto
As well as being Lab Manager, Graeme is charging headfirst into his 4th year of Psychology, Neuroscience, & Behaviour in the Mental Health Specialization. His deep desire to participate in and investigate music has propelled him into various avenues of performance, education, and research. Graeme’s unique endeavors through marching band, barbershop, and other rare fields of interest prove his divergent taste for musical harmony. His hope is to transfer this odd experience of music to provide novel perspectives to research within the lab. Graeme’s current research focuses on the importance of timbral composition and its effects on key nonadjacency, as an extension of the research Joanna Spyra has been working on throughout her graduate studies.

Key Nonadjacency & Timbre
Hearing something in a natural timbre (the characteristic of a sound) builds a stronger memory for a musical key than an artificial sound.
