Abstract

We experience what are called emotions in our heart. The heart is nothing but our brain reacting to emotional stimuli. The exploration of new frontiers in the way music affects the brain and elicits physiological and emotional responses has opened up exciting new possibilities for utilizing music. In this paper, we explore the variegated tapestry of emotions that are brought about by music in humans and how this subtle power of music can be used to alter how we feel, react, cope and behave in various circumstances.
