The music we choose to listen to can have a profound effect on our emotions and behaviour, but how and why?
Our understanding of music’s influence on the brain is intricate, involving numerous regions that process auditory information, emotions, and memories. During music perception, the auditory cortex plays a central role, processing the sound.
- Musical pleasure. The enjoyment of music appears to involve the same pleasure center in the brain as other forms of pleasure, such as food, sex, and drugs.
- Musical anticipation. Music can be experienced as pleasurable both when it fulfills and violates expectations. The more unexpected the events in music, the more surprising is the musical experience (Gebauer & Kringelbach, 2012).
- Refined emotions. There is also an intellectual component to the appreciation for music. The dopamine systems do not work in isolation, and their influence will be largely dependent on their interaction with other regions of the brain.
- Memories. Memories are one of the important ways in which musical events evoke emotions. As the late physician Oliver Sacks has noted, musical emotions and musical memory can survive long after other forms of memory have disappeared.
These findings raise the question: What are the musical parameters that produce emotions and change our time judgments? Music is a complex structure of sounds whose different parameters can affect the perception of time.
