“…Health. Finally, it has long been assumed that humans engage with art objects partly in order to regulate emo7ons (Anglada-Tort et al, 2023;Winner, 2018). Central to this idea is the Neurobiology of art no7on that art objects hold the power to change, release, or otherwise modulate people's current emo7onal state (Anglada-Tort et al, 2023).…”

Analysis of streaming data from Spo7fy has revealed that music listeners differ in the kind of music they prefer to listen to during the day and throughout the week, with so|er music being preferred in the morning and upbeat and energe7c music being preferred in the evenings (Heggli, Stupacher & Vuust, 2021).…”

Over the last two decades, neuroscientific research has considerably advanced our understanding of the neurobiological processes that underlie our interactions with artworks. Through a combination of behavioural and neuroimaging methods, experiments have identified sensory, perceptual, emotional and cognitive processes that make important contributions to our psychological experiences of art, in particular the emergence of aesthetic preferences. Here we conduct a selective review of this literature that will provide readers without a background in the neurosciences a first introduction into what we have learned so far. Our review is organised in three parts: First we describe research that has examined neurobiologicalprocesses involved in the sensation and perception of art. Next, we survey findings that cast light on the neural mechanisms underlying our emotional responses to art, including the contribution of the mesocorticolimbic reward circuitry to the computation of aesthetic liking. Third, we outline how cognitive processes associated with expectations, knowledge and expertise significantly influence our response to works of art. We conclude the chapter by discussing how the experience of art relies on an interdependence of sensation, emotion, and cognition, and how the major challenge of future neuroaesthetics research lies in improving our understanding of the complex interplay of these neural processes.

“…Second, we tested for potential seasonal effects, as particular months in the year (e.g., holiday seasons, christmas) can link to different consumption patterns 27,102 . We compared the trends in our study with the same months in the following year by computing Pearson correlations between the two trends (Supplementary Fig.…”

Global music discoveries reveal cultural shifts during the war in Ukraine

Collective engagement with culture including music and the arts can trace societal changes associated with acute disruptions, such as pandemics, political movements, and wars. Can the daily shared experiences of culture reveal deep and long lasting societal impacts of disturbances? We collected longitudinal data of 12.8 million music discoveries via Shazam across 1,423 cities and 53 countries, relating them to the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Among post-Soviet countries, results revealed cascades of societal disintegration that rapidly escalated during the invasion. Initially similar music discoveries across countries broke down into distinct clusters that persisted over months. Cultural shifts were asymmetric: Ukraine saw a stark rise in the discovery of local, patriotic music, while Russia experienced a moderate decrease in their local music. At the city-level, socio-cultural values predicted subnational changes in music discovery inflicted by the war, bringing to surface latent variations within Ukraine and Russia. Interestingly, in Belarus, despite their political alliance with Russia, discoveries of Russian music decreased while Ukrainian music increased, suggesting undercurrents and resistance. Our work provides insights into the interactions between culture and society, revealing the pathways through which societal disruptions imprint the evolution of culture.
