Different kinds of musical material in reviewed research. 20 reference
s
CR:
---
Presentation of 20 familiar and 20 unfamiliar melodic excerpts
(SNI)
CR: Western
Recorded music:
1) 27 excerpts of classical nonvocal music, 1 or 25 sec
.
chosen to illustrate a variety of emotions
.
2) excerpts of classical and pop/rock m
usic
, 250 msec. to
20 sec.
CR: Western / W. popular
Mainly fMRI and PET. Also included: EEG and physiological measures: cardiac, vascular,
electro-
dermal
and respiratory
functions
Test: The 40 studied melodies were mixed with 40 nonstudied ones.
Task 1
: Rate liking on
a 10-
point scale. Task 2: Rate if
melody
was heard before on
a 10-
point scale
Groups of musically trained and untrained listeners.
1) Task: To group excerpts that convey a similar emotional meaning
2) Task: To differentiate between ”hig
hly moving” and
”less moving” music

Processing of music with emotional valence involves a number of limbic and paralimbic structures. Synaptic processes may be excitatory or inhibitory
Suggestion: RTL struc
tures
play a critical role in the formation of melody representations. LTL structures are more involved in the explicit retrieval of melodies

1-2) Less than 1 sec. of music is enough to instill elaborated emotional responses in listeners
