I agree, great! I will take some time to look through the material more thoroughly soon. I would love to take part in this. Right now a person who just took the OST training with me is starting a masters where she wants to look at effects from OST. She was very happy to learn about this, so she might get in touch with you. Kind regards Thomas HErrmann
