|
"In this work, we assess how the degree of immersion into music is reflected by brain responses. Immersion refers to the process of being absorbed by a musical piece so that one looses the awareness of events happening in the environment as well as loosing one's sense of time. Two different kinds of minimalistic musical stimuli are presented (polyrhythmic music and electro pop) that consist of sequences of a repetitive standard and a deviant pattern, following an oddball paradigm. Three of these pattern sequences with different instruments are overlaid, yielding a polyphonic structure. In a study with 11 subjects, brain activity is recorded via a 64-channel EEG setup. After each musical block, the degree of immersion of the subject is assessed through a query. For these behavioral data, we found neural correlates in terms of spectral characteristics of EEG."
