Emotional contagion has been explained as arising from embodied simulation. The two most accepted theories of music-induced emotions presume a mechanism internal mimicry: the BRECVEMA framework proposes that melodic aspect music elicits mimicry leading to induction basic in listener, and Multifactorial Process Model observation or imagination motor expressions musicians muscular neural mimicry,...

background: exposure to loud music from sources such as portable music players (pmp), especially among adolescents, can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. the aims of this study are as follows: 1) investigate the prevalence of headphone use in iranian university students by assessing their behavior, 2) determine the type of headphones used, and 3) ascertain the type of music player used. metho...

Research on mental imagery has shown that when we imagine something, the related neural processes overlap with those related to actually perceiving or performing that same percept or action (Kosslyn et al., 2001). Although visual imagery has long been the dominant modality for the investigation of sensory imagery, involvement of modality-specific brain regions (i.e., visual areas being implicat...

While previous studies have analyzed mean neurophysiological responses to musical stimuli, the current study aimed to identify specific time courses of electroencephalography (EEG) oscillations, which are associated with dynamic changes in the acoustic features of the musical stimulus. In addition, we were interested in whether these time courses change during a repeated presentation of the sam...
