Research Abstract

Music in major keys generally give light and minor keys dark impressions. To find nerophysiological correlates for these emotions, we measured brain activities to major and minor chords and scales by functional-MRI and MEG (magnetoencephalogram). Stimuli related to minro keys activated areas in brain related to negative emotions. Major and minor chords which were amplituded modulated produced different stationary state responses. Results such as these comprise part of neurophysiological correlates we were looking for.
