Thrills, chills, frissons, and skin orgasms: toward an integrative model of transcendent psychophysiological experiences in music

چکیده
Music has a unique power to elicit moments of intense emotional and psychophysiological response. These moments - termed "chills," "thrills", "frissons," etc. - are subjects of introspection and philosophical debate, as well as scientific study in music perception and cognition.
