The majority of original research has been carried out through the design and
collection of data from a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed for
the quantitive analysis of annonymous oppinions on the perceived
artificialness and musical quality of a range of musical samples.

rating of both musical talent and synthetic characteristics. The most
prominent factor was thought to be the participant's background in terms of
music and music technology training. A participant with an in depth
understaning of composition and performance would most likely have a
heightened sensitivity to the musical aspects of the examples that an
untrained participant may not pick up on. To account for this, participants
were simply asked to state if they have any musical/music technological
training. This could then be taken into account in the analysis of results.
Another factor that would most likely affect a participants decision was
their preference with regaurds to musical style. as stated in
section~\ref{LR}, many factors influence a person's muical preference in
terms of genre, and so accounting for bias towards certain musical styles

A section for participant comments was created at the botom of the test to
allow participants to share thoughts on the survey.
