Fiona Miller

RESEARCHER | INDEPENDENT

Fiona is an academic researcher in sound and the body. She recently completed a PhD exploring the effects of audible frequencies on the mind, brain and body on Leverhulme's Sensation and Perception to Awareness Doctoral Scholarship Programme.

Fiona's research combines music and neuroscience, investigating the potential of sound as a tool for improving autonomic health and self-regulation by measuring its impact on biosignals. She uses a combination of physiological measurements and microphenomenology interview methods to investigate how music influences biosignals and subjective experiences.

With a background in music, including an M.A. in Sonic Arts and Composition, Fiona brings an interdisciplinary perspective to her work. Inspired by her experience collaborating with a music streaming service client during her time in advertising, she developed a passion for exploring the therapeutic potential of sound.

Fiona's ultimate goal is to contribute to developing evidence-based interventions that harness the power of sound to improve well-being.
