چکیده

Familiarity is a crucial factor in music engagement, but very few study focuses on its neural correlates. We investigated effects of familiarity based on electroencephalogram in music-emotion recognition. Our research focused on self-reporting and continuous annotation based on the hypothesis that emotion in music experiencing is subjective and varies over time. Our methodology allowed subject to select up to 16 MIDI songs, comprising of eight familiar songs and the remaining were unfamiliar songs. We found that prior knowledge of the music indicated by familiarity level affected brain activities reflected by our indicators in frequency domain analysis. Furthermore, using entirelyunfamiliar songs was superior to mixed data in emotion classification. Therefore, unfamiliar songs are recommended to be used in emotion recognition system construction.

Familiarity Affects Entrainment of EEG in Music Listening

Music perception involves complex brain functions. The relationship between music and brain such as cortical entrainment to periodic tune, periodic beat, and music have been well investigated. It has also been reported that the cerebral cortex responded more strongly to the periodic rhythm of unfamiliar music than to that of familiar music. However, previous works mainly used simple and artific...

Arousal Rules: An Empirical Investigation into the Aesthetic Experience of Cross-Modal Perception with Emotional Visual Music

Emotional visual music is a promising tool for the study of aesthetic perception in human psychology; however, the production of such stimuli and the mechanisms of auditory-visual emotion perception remain poorly understood. In Experiment 1, we suggested a literature-based, directive approach to emotional visual music design, and inspected the emotional meanings thereof using the self-rated psy...
