Modeling Continuous Emotional Appraisals of Music Using System Identification

This is the title of my thesis (and conference proceedings). If you want a brief overview of my research, try to get a copy of the conference proceedings. The thesis describes virtually all of the details needed to reproduce my results. Currently, I am working on summarizing my thesis in a journal article (or two).
