Abstract
Interpreting and responding to affective states of a user is crucial for future intelligent systems. Until recently, the role of sound in affective responses has been frequently ignored. This article provides a brief overview of the research targeting affective reactions to everyday, ecological sounds. This research shows that the subjective interpretation and meaning that listeners attribute to sound, the spatial dimension, or the interactions with other sensory modalities, are as important as the physical properties of sound in evoking an affective response. Situation appraisal and individual differences are also discussed as factors influencing the emotional reactions to auditory stimuli. A study with heartbeat sounds exemplifies some of the introduced ideas and research methodologies, and shows the potential of sound in inducing emotional states.

Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy is the most distressing form of cancer treatment in oncology, but listening to music can be an adjuvant during chemotherapy. Monochord (MC) sounds are used in music therapy for the alleviation of pain, enhanced body perception, and relaxation. This study investigated the relaxation effect of MC sounds for patients during chemotherapy compared with progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), an established relaxation technique.
Methodology/principal findings: Two randomized groups of patients were observed during chemotherapy. One group listened to recorded MC sounds (n = 20) and the other group listened to recorded PMR (n = 20). Each session was investigated pre and post using Spielberger's State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) and a questionnaire about the patient's physical and psychological states. Further, for the first and the last session, multivariate electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were recorded. Patients in both MC and PMR groups showed significant improvement in their physical and psychological states and in state anxiety. The EEG data showed that the MC and the PMR groups were associated with an increase of posterior theta (3.5–7.5 Hz) and a decrease of midfrontal beta-2 band (20–29.5 Hz) activity during the end phase of relaxation treatment. Further, the MC group was associated with decreased alpha band (8–12 Hz) activity in comparison with PMR group.
Conclusions: This study shows that both listening to recorded MC sounds and practising PMR have a useful and comparable effect on gynaecologic oncological patients during chemotherapy, with partially overlapping but also notably divergent neural correlates. Future research should establish the systematic use of MC in oncological contexts.

Abstract
Objective: High-resolution audio music box sound has the possibility of music therapy with positive hypersonic effect.
Design: A clinical study.
Materials and Methods: Subjects were healthy young adults. They underwent EEG. They were exposed high-resolution audio music box sound. Topographical EEG mapping was done with using VitalTracer and ATAMAPII programs as a new topographical brain mapping approach.
Results: α2 and β1 wave band power significantly increased with high-resolution audio music box sound. α wave band power increased with high-resolution audio music box sound.
Conclusions: These results suspect that high-resolution audio music box sound has the effect of increasing of vigilance and relaxation of the brain.

Abstract
Our study focuses on mood induction with pleasant and un- pleasant auditory stimuli during the break. Our test includes sub- jective evaluation (NASA-TLX, KSS, POMS), cognitive tests and brain responses (MEG and EEG). We aim studying the effect affective state has on work-like tasks. Hypothesis: pleasantness of auditory mood induction affects cognitive performance and brain responses.

Abstract
Background: The effect of different musical styles on serum cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rate is currently unknown.
Methods: 60 subjects were randomly assigned to three groups that listened to various compositions by W. A. Mozart, J. Strauss Jr., or ABBA for 25 minutes. Their serum cortisol concentrations, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured before and after the listening session. The same variables were measured in a control group of 60 subjects who did not listen to music but rested in silence.
Results: Music by Mozart and Strauss markedly lowered the subjects’ blood pressure (systolic: −4.7 mm Hg, 95% confidence interval [−6.9; −2.5] and −3.7 mm Hg [−6.1; −1.4]; diastolic: −2.1 mm Hg [−3.8; −0.4] and −2.9 mm Hg [−4.9; −0.9], p<0.001), while music by ABBA did not (systolic: −1.7 mm Hg [−3.9; 0.6]; diastolic: −0.1 mm Hg [−2.0; 1.8]). Similar findings were made with respect to heart rate. There were no such changes in the control group. Serum cortisol levels decreased in all groups (Mozart: −4.56 μ/dL [−5.72; −3.39], Strauss: −4.76 μg/dL [−5.94; −3.58], ABBA: −3.00 μg/dL [−5.28; −2.69], silence: −2.39 μg/dL [−3.26; −1.52], p<0.001). The observed effects were not correlated with the style of music individually preferred by the subjects. Conclusion: Music by Mozart and Strauss lowered the subjects’ blood pressure and heart rate, while music by ABBA did not. Mozart’s music had the strongest effect; the piece used was his Symphony No. 40 in g minor (KV 550).
