Outline of Final Research Achievements	The “ISO” principle has been one of theories in music therapy particularly for mood disorders. The idea posits that clients listening to music that is “equal to“ their mood state may shift their mood from the initial to another desired. However, the validity of this principle has hardly been tested. In this study, the subject’s real time feeling values, their heart rate and their fMRI signals (brain functions) during listening to music were measured immediately after their initial moods were controlled by affective images (pleasant, neutral and unpleasant). Statistical differences in the real time feeling values, the heart rate and the fMRI signals between their initial moods (pleasant, neutral and unpleasant) were found. Our results suggest that type of listening music and mood state are predictors of mood changes, supporting the idea of “ISO principle” in music therapy.
