Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary objective is to investigate the effect of participant-preferred music on laparoscopic task performance as defined by time to task completion.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary Objectives are to assess the he effect of participant-preferred music on: <br>-Laparoscopic path length (m)<br>-Jerk (m/s^3)<br>-Economy of motion (path length/time to task completion)<br>-Error score<br>-Subjective mental workload (SURG-TLX)<br>-Objective mental workload (HRV)
