Abstract

In order to study the characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) induced by different types of music, we selected 58 volunteers (college students) with no musical training experience. Half of them are males and the rest are females. We finally adopted 49 experimental samples for further data processing. The results showed that: (1) music caused the changes of energy intensity in specific area of the brain and related EEG waveforms; (2) different types of music caused the changes of energy intensity in different regions and different EEG waveforms.
