<p>This experiment will consist of 32 short melodies presented in two
blocks. The first block contains 2 practice trials to familiarise you
with the programme. After the practice block, you will be able to
adjust the volume to a comfortable level and ask any questions you may
have. The main part of the experiment will follow on from the practice
block.</p>

<p>When each melody starts playing, a cross will appear in the centre
of the screen. You should focus on this cross while listening to the
melody.</p>

<p>Whilst listening to each melody, you will be prompted to judge how
expected or unexpected you find a given note. Shortly before these
notes, the cross will be replaced by a clock with a minute hand at 12
O'Clock. The hand will count down in time with the music. Pay
attention to the note that coincides with the hand returning to
12. You should judge how expected or unexpected this note is, given
what has gone before. Please use a scale of 1 (highly unexpected) to 7
(highly expected), making sure to use the full range. Respond using
number keys 1 to 7 on the keyboard.</p>

<p>The music will continue to play, so try to respond as quickly as
possible, however accuracy is more vital than speed. There is only one
chance to make your decision, once selected it cannot be changed.</p>

<p>After listening to each melody, you will be required to answer some
short questions relating to the music before listening to the next
piece.</p>

<p>If you have any questions please ask now. Otherwise, press
'Continue' to move directly to the practice block.</p>
