The Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences Postgraduate Research Symposium was held Thursday, 27 March 2025 at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE). It provided a forum for exchanging and discussing ideas with other research students and leading thinkers in the field. Postgraduate research students from across the School and its CDTs will showcase their latest research through oral and poster presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia Cotic, 2nd<\/sup> year PhD candidate presented her work on the “Impact of Music Phrase Arc Predictability on Physiological Entrainment”<\/em>. It explores how the human body – specifically the autonomic nervous system – entrains to music by looking at ECG, respiration and blood pressure data and how this entrainment is modulated by the predictability of musical phrasing. The findings suggest that more predictable musical arcs may foster stronger physiological synchronisation, opening questions about the role of musical structure in listener engagement and embodied experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
