Research on the Difference between Environmental Music Perception and Innovation Ability Based on EEG Data

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Cognitive Psychology
• Music Cognition

Background:

• Music creation is vital for nurturing creative talent.
• Perception, encompassing feeling and sensation, reflects individual responses to external stimuli.
• Understanding the link between music perception and innovation is crucial for educational and therapeutic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the relationship between environmental music perception and innovation ability.
• To analyze electroencephalography (EEG) data to understand neural processing of music.
• To explore how different levels of consciousness influence the processing of musical characteristics.

Main Methods:

• Preprocessed electroencephalography (EEG) signals from subjects under musical stimulation.
• Applied tensor decomposition to EEG data to extract relevant components.
• Analyzed time-domain components, musical features (e.g., fluctuation centroid, pulse clarity), power spectrum, and brain region activity.

Main Results:

• Identified EEG tensor components associated with specific musical characteristics.
• Revealed distinct patterns in power spectrum and responsive brain regions.
• Demonstrated significant differences in music characteristic processing across varying consciousness levels.

Conclusions:

• Environmental music perception and innovation ability are linked through neural processing.
• Consciousness level significantly modulates how musical features are processed in the brain.
• Findings offer insights into optimizing music-based training for creative talent development.
