Why does particular music can be evocative, while others just flat? Scientists from Florida Atlantic University to identify key aspects of the musical acts that cause emotions to study the brain activity. The researchers recorded a pianist plays Etude in E Major, Op. 10, No. 3, the works of Frederic Chopin on the piano on the computer. This version is called "expressive performance."
The researchers also recorded the same composition using the computer, but not the result of the game a pianist. This version is called "mechanical performance".
Both versions have the elements of music that the average same-melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, and loudness. It's just a change in the dynamics of expressive performance in tempo and loudness, a variation that is often used to evoke emotion pianist.
Participants in this trial were divided into two groups. The first group are people who are experienced in the music world, though they are not necessarily professional musicians. "These are people who have been involved in the choir or play for a band," said Edward Large, principal investigator in a study entitled Dynamic Neural Responses to Emotional and Music Performance Depend on Expression and Listener Experience. The second group are those who are inexperienced with the music.
