BCEM - the quartet with a missing link
Undeniably music induces emotions, motivating research and theories in several domains of psychology, including social, cognitive, and cognitive neuroscience. For instance, social psychology suggests enjoying music (even if the music is negatively valenced) involves cognitive functions such as self-regulation and recognition of social roles, as well as emotional states such as nostalgia. Meanwhile, cognitive research implies music-induced emotions relate to processes such as employment of music syntax, memory, and prediction. Cognitive neuroscience associates particular brain regions, including the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) to processing of musical features and music-evoked emotions. However, the link among all four (Brain, Cognition, Emotions, and Music) is less clear, and understanding music’s induction of emotions can be examined via multidisciplinary theories in psychology and musicology.
