Music-induced emotions can be predicted from a combination of brain activity and acoustic features
Journal Article
Daly, I., Williams, D., Hallowell, J., Hwang, F., Kirke, A., Malik, A., …Nasuto, S. (2015). Music-induced emotions can be predicted from a combination of brain activity and acoustic features. Brain and Cognition, 101, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2015.08.003

It is widely acknowledged that music can communicate and induce a wide range of emotions in the listener. However, music is a highly-complex audio signal composed of a wide range of complex time- and frequency-varying components. Additionally, music-...
