Abstract

Music and poetry evoke emotion. The neural correlates of emotion are not well known but constitute a growing research field in neuroscience. Using brain imaging techniques, emotion elicited by music has been addressed by several laboratories. However, most studies are focused on classical music. Surprisingly, ambient electronic music, which possesses the aesthetic characteristics prone to evoke auto-memories and emotion, has not been evaluated, and only a few studies are available regarding poetry. In the last years, virtual reality (VR) has become a powerful tool to elicit and enhance emotions, since this technology immerses the user in a three-dimensional environment, increasing the sense of presence. In this work we describe a VR prototype which combines ambient electronic music and poetry, as a preliminary step in our project to address the neural correlates of emotion and self-awareness evoked by these arts.
