ABOUT A MEASURING MODEL OF EMOTIONAL PERCEPTION OF MUSIC

Ksenia Sapozhnikova, Roald Taymanov

Abstract

The problem of finding the parameters of musical composition, which cause emotional perception of music and at that, can be measured, has been formulated. A hypothesis has been advanced and proved under which the perception of music is realized in an inertial nonlinear system, the emotional reaction of a listener depending on the parameters of a combinative spectrum. <BR />The regularities have been discovered which distinguish the combinative spectrum of oscillations at the output of the non-linear system under the influence of music components written in various major and minor keys. <BR />The regularities discovered are important for psychotherapy, biophysics and science of art and can be used for developing new musical instruments.
