Neural response to sad autobiographical recall and sad music listening post recall reveals distinct brain activation in alpha and gamma bands
by Ashish Gupta, Braj Bhushan, Laxmidhar Behera
Although apparently paradoxical, sad music has been effective in coping with sad life experiences. The underpinning brain neural correlates of this are not well explored. We performed Electroencephalography (EEG) source-level analysis for the brain during a sad autobiographical recall (SAR) and upon exposure to sad music. We specifically investigated the Cingulate cortex complex and Parahippocampus (PHC) regions, areas prominently involved in emotion and memory processing. Читать дальше...
