<strong>Doctoral</strong> <strong>thesis</strong> <strong>sintesis</strong><br />
The main objective of this <strong>thesis</strong> was the investigation of music-induced emotions, especially<br />
operatic music. Our studies showed that music induces specific emotions which corelated with<br />
coresponding physiological responses, emphasizing some of the important mechanisms<br />
underlying musical emotions. Moreover, we extended previous observations concerning<br />
musicians and non-musicians differences, mapping for the first time the affective space of an<br />
entire musical composition. The results suggest important implications for future research on<br />
musical-induced emotions in general, operatic music in particular. Our research revealed that<br />
music is a complex stimuli, which allows the experience of multiple and various emotions that<br />
emerge and develop in a relatively short period of time. No other known stimuli, word or image,<br />
has such an important effect.
