Music Interpretation and Emotion Perception: A Computational and Neurophysiological Investigation
Quick summary
arXiv:2506.01982v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This study investigates emotional expression and perception in music performance using computational and neurophysiological methods. The influence of different performance settings, such as repertoire, diatonic modal etudes, and improvisation, as well as levels of expressiveness, on performers' emotional communication and listeners' reactions is explored. Professional musicians performed various tasks, and emotional annotations were provided by both performers and the audience. Audio analysis revealed that expressive and improvisational

Why it matters
“Music Interpretation and Emotion Perception: A Computational and Neurophysiological Investigation” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
