Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

That music is related to emotions is an almost trivial insight. On closer examination, however, this very quickly comes up against a number of unresolved questions which, despite the massive increase in research over the last 20 years, have still not been clearly resolved. In addition to basic models from emotion psychology, topics to be covered will include: emotional processing of music, chills (goose bumps) and SEM (strong emotional experiences) affect models, use-and-gratification approaches, emotion modulation approaches, and the explanation of differences in emotional processing both within and across individuals. In addition, an overview of key neurophysiological processes will be provided.
