introduction: music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. an important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. in this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. methods: we used eeg recording in nine subjects...

BACKGROUND Music can elicit strong emotions and can be remembered in connection with these emotions even decades later. Yet, the brain correlates of episodic memory for highly emotional music compared with less emotional music have not been examined. We therefore used fMRI to investigate brain structures activated by emotional processing of short excerpts of film music successfully retrieved fr...

Investigating the emotional impact of historical music, e.g. music of the 19th century, is a complex challenge since the subjects that listened to this music and their emotions are forever gone. As a result, asking them for their experiences is not possible anymore and we need other means to gain insights into the expressive quality of music of this century. In this vision paper, we describe a ...

When listening to music, humans tend to synchronize their movements with the perceived beat (e.g., foot-tapping). Brain areas associated with motor function have been closely linked to the perception of beat and rhythm, but the mechanism of this temporal auditory–motor coupling is not fully understood. To investigate how auditory rhythms affect movement, we applied single-pulse transcranial mag...

Previous studies have suggested that professional musicians comprehend features of music-derived sound even if the sound sequence lacks the traditional temporal structure of music. We tested this hypothesis through behavioral and functional brain imaging experiments. Musicians were better than nonmusicians at identifying scrambled pieces of piano music in which the original temporal structure h...

Music as a therapeutic non-invasive tool-could be used as an effective intervention in nursing practice. The aim of this study was to survey effect of music upon patients’ physiological parameters following open heart surgery. A quasi-experimental study was performed on 60 patients under open heart surgery referred to intensive care unit. Patients were randomly divided into two groups including...

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance employees who listened music while working those did not. This conducted at Business Simulation Laboratory, Department Administration Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic. employed an Experimental Research Method with a quantitative methodology. total participants, 94, were divided into 2 groups, treatment (listening working) 48 and without tr...
