It investigates how water-related music evokes thoughts and mental imagery and how social and cultural factors shape music-induced imaginings. A central component of the project is a citizen science game, which will be launched as part of the "Water" exhibition at the Humboldt Labor in October 2025. Visitors will be invited to listen to musical pieces and share their inner images and associations. By integrating music psychology, cognitive science, and imagination research, the project will make a significant contribution to understanding musical perception and creative processes.
