Abstract

Being one of the most direct expressions of human feelings, music becomes the best tool for investigating the relationship between emotion and cognition. This paper investigated the long-term spectrum evidence of electroencephalogram (EEG) activities elicited by music keys. The EEG signals were recorded in 21 healthy adults during the entire process of music listening. There were two major music episodes and two minor ones, each lasted two minutes. Considering the spectral characteristics: (1) During two minutes of music listening, the alpha band activities recovered rapidly, which were more obvious under major music; (2) while, in the high-frequency gamma band, the activities declined gradually which were more obvious under minor music. Taken together, these results give clear evidence for the time-course difference in the music key perception.
