The distinction between emotions expressed by and evoked by music is often blurred by the use of methodologies that are difficult to compare, preventing progress towards a unifying theory of emotion and music. In this thesis, a methodology for experimentation that clarifies how research in these areas can be conducted clearly and independently is proposed. The study of evoked emotions is emphasized, and two novel controllers are developed to examine methods of recording emotional response continuously. These controllers, along with a number of the proposed methodological changes, are tested against an established controller in an experiment designed to record emotional changes to participant-selected musical pieces. The results support predictions regarding the effects that the experimental setting can have on the emotional responses of the participant. Usability ratings of one of the new controllers were found to be slightly higher than those of the established controller, while providing an interface that is less emotionally distracting for the participant. It also provides the ability to record instances of physiological reactions evoked in the participant.
