Music, by any definition, has been part of human life since
the beginning of bipedalism, and maybe even before that. Now, in our 21st
Century, there is not a day that goes by without music and without the myriad
of technologies to help even an infant be exposed to this aesthetic form of
communication.
Music is energy, emotion, vibration, infiltrating our sensory
systems, emotions, and whole bodies. And, with the development of current
technologies, music has a far reaching effect for composers developing unimaginable
sounds and expressions and listener seeking the best devices for enjoying
music.
Previously electroencephalogram (EEG) based BCI
(Brain Control Interface) is very complicated for the homebased users. Musicgenres for various background music styles are analyzed for the experiment, to
obtain the subjects’ EEG data with various attention and meditation levels.
The
classical symphonic music makes subjects obtain the most significant response,
and the proposed method can be adopted for the fields of music healing,
education, and entertainment, hopefully.
