“…It has been demonstrated that music by Mozart (K448), Brahms (Hungarian Dances) and Hayden (Symphony 94) evoke different electrical activity in the brain (Jausovec and Habe 2005). While the calming effect of music has been demonstrated, the question is whether this effect of music is mediated by changes in the frequency of the brain wave.…”

Myths about the power of music to regulate and change emotional states are found in each culture. Googling the words ''music and stress'' produces promises for different types of music specially designed to assist managing stress. Music therapists are familiar with using different techniques to reduce stress with different populations. This paper examines both the application of music to stress management and the neurological and physiological mechanisms of stress that can be modulated by music.

“…The relative disadvantage of EEG recordings is the lower spatial resolution (if the aim is to estimate the underlying cortical sources of EEG activity), although the correspondence between EEG-based estimations of intracortical sources and fMRI measurements is astonishingly high (Britz et al, 2010; Van de Ville et al, 2010). Several published studies have used EEG to measure neural responses during music listening (Petsche et al, 1993; Iwaki et al, 1997; Sarnthein et al, 1997; Bhattacharya and Petsche, 2001; Bhattacharya et al, 2001a,b; Altenmuller et al, 2002; Jaušovec and Habe, 2005; Baumgartner et al, 2006; Jausovec et al, 2006; Peterson and Thaut, 2007; Sammler et al, 2007; Schaefer et al, 2009, 2011a,b, 2013; Mikutta et al, 2012, 2014; Wu et al, 2012; Jancke et al, 2015; Jancke and Alahmadi, 2016; Rogenmoser et al, 2016). Some of these studies focused on the functional network characteristics during music listening and identified specific network features in various frequency bands.…”

In this paper, we examined brain activation in subjects during two music listening conditions: listening while simultaneously rating the musical piece being played [Listening and Rating (LR)] and listening to the musical pieces unconstrained [Listening (L)]. Using these two conditions, we tested whether the sequence in which the two conditions were fulfilled influenced the brain activation observable during the L condition (LR → L or L → LR). We recorded high-density EEG during the playing of four well-known positively experienced soundtracks in two subject groups. One group started with the L condition and continued with the LR condition (L → LR); the second group performed this experiment in reversed order (LR → L). We computed from the recorded EEG the power for different frequency bands (theta, lower alpha, upper alpha, lower beta, and upper beta). Statistical analysis revealed that the power in all examined frequency bands increased during the L condition but only when the subjects had not had previous experience with the LR condition (i.e., L → LR). For the subjects who began with the LR condition, there were no power increases during the L condition. Thus, the previous experience with the LR condition prevented subjects from developing the particular mental state associated with the typical power increase in all frequency bands. The subjects without previous experience of the LR condition listened to the musical pieces in an unconstrained and undisturbed manner and showed a general power increase in all frequency bands. We interpret the fact that unconstrained music listening was associated with increased power in all examined frequency bands as a neural indicator of a mental state that can best be described as a mind-wandering state during which the subjects are “drawn into” the music.

“…So far, the relaxing and anti-stressing effect of music on humans has been well documented, especially that of Mozart, known as the ''Mozart effect'' (Conrad et al 2007;Hughes et al 1998;Jausovec and Habe 2005;Rauscher et al 1995). Similarly, behavioural reaction to classical music has been reported for common domestic animals (de Jonge et al 2008;Rickard et al 2005).…”

The objective of this study was to further investigate the effects of music on fish physiology, bearing in mind available information regarding the involvement of endogenous and exogenous factors in fish farming. Therefore, Cyprinus carpio (50.5 +/- 0.36 g) were reared in a recirculating water system under 80 and 200 lux and subjected to no music at all (control, ambient noise only), 4 h of Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", or 4 h of anonymous "Romanza-Jeux Interdits" for 106 days. Both music treatments resulted in increased growth performance at both light intensities, with Romanza treatment at 200 lux resulting in better growth performance than Mozart treatment. Furthermore, feed efficiency for the Romanza groups was significantly better than for the control. Although no significant music effect was apparent for brain neurotransmitters, lower anterior intestine alkaline protease levels were detected for both music treatments. Taking into consideration the numerous advantages of recirculating water systems, it should be emphasised that fish response to music expresses the results of various physiological and biochemical processes, especially when fish notably respond differently when subjected to two different pieces of music.
