I have always felt that the relationship between art and science is very wonderful, art can deliver science is difficult to transfer to the audience feelings and emotions, although consider them to be material in neuroscience, but evolution to today, the artist can through color, shadow and harmony to deliver strong and complicated emotions, even if time passes, life dies, environment and thought has also changed, the emotion or can be delivered through the art to the audience.
Said, is not material itself, but rather a precisely combination, combination may be a different color, different lines of shadow, also may be a chord, by showing this combination can instantly unlocked Audience a certain emotion in the brain. This sentiment may vary from person to person, but most feel the mood is very similar, and often is not very easy mood.
It is commonly said that is resonance.
Personal view, this is the most outstanding human skills. Is so special, too complicated, so we are all don't know how to do this.
Famous cognitive psychologists and linguists Steven Pinker will music compared to Auditory Cheesecake, Auditory Cheesecake. Let's think of the Chinese people's as hearing the steamed stuffed bun is good too. Music is a human learning to make and pass on the emotional things, like the steamed stuffed bun for the tongue taste buds.
Fritz et al (2009) in 2009 Germany's a native to Africa (that is, I have never had contact with western music) to go to the western classical music experiment found that western music has three basic emotions: happiness, sadness and fear. Even if different cultural background, music background, the three basic emotions or can be identified.
Recently I am very interested in this aspect, because my major is neuroscience, from my point of view now talk about emotions and some difficult, should first find out a more fundamental question: why are some nice rhythm, some not good? Learn some music friend about harmonic harmony, the harmony why make you feel good? Why is that? Why is that?
I use my shallow knowledge of music is a speak, don't pay attention to details, the purpose is to completely such as we have not learned music can understand roughly.
We here in the western music, for example, the western music is composed of seven sound (accurately called scale scale), is our primary school
Me FaSuo west
Do re mi fa so la ti
A B C D E F G
(supplement: Chinese classical music is composed of lake the palace quotient Angle characteristics of feather; the Japanese classical music is according to China's palace quotient Angle characteristics of feather added a scale into 6 scales)
Chord is refers to the press at the same time two notes (or combination) more sound. Some sound combination, namely Concorde (consonant); Some combination is not good to listen, namely the dissonant (dissonant). Understand which sound combination of Concorde (nice), which is not good, is the basis of the composition.
For the following explanation of convenience, let's look at a piano keyboard.
Musicians, found that the two sound, a sound is just another fifth after, and poor or middle four sound, is the most beautiful, this is the perfect 5 th (totally five interval), has a perfect consonance Concorde completely. What is the fifth tone? We literally to choose a sound, do, after that it's the fifth tone is so, the two key press at the same time, this combination is perfect 5 th, sounds the most good. (in the case of piano, white for a sound, black at the half.)
Details Perfect 4 th is also very good to listen, not say here. The classical western music theory will be the summary into a table, see below for details (the lower, the ugly) :

It is worth noting that perception melody \"nice not nice\" directly affect the pleasure of listening to music, the pleasure is not equal to happy mood. Completely no cheerful melody, not considering the music and the mood at present stage the main research scope, completely not cheerful melody, you don't want to listen to, is not to regard it as music, of course it has a strong cultural influence.
Cognitive scientists Mark Changzi think music mood because we will sound and movement. Because we can through to see the other human, sound and motion, caused our own emotions. In other words, music is a kind of medium, it passed the real human action.
The theory I am in favor of the individual, because I think about two things:
1. The rhythm. When people very like tapping, such as boring, finger tapping rhythmically desktop; When I need to be absorbed in a noisy environment, tracking a repeated sound, music and monotonous voice, his beat, would help me focus. This kind of phenomenon, our family snesorimotor synchronization synchronization (SMS) perception and action. And auditory system perception of time synchronization and action ability is the most representative, is the product of its most interesting dance. Words, in fact, the bird will dance you know (found) in Cambridge? Calls of birds of the same species have different accent oh ~ (next to the laboratory findings)
2. The game is playing the piano, do you think the judges of sound or visual on?
Are you sure you want to, not nonsense, piano competition must be sound. Although judges estimate is so going to, it's a pity that, studies have found that clearly, playing game, see more dominant than the hearing. What you see in the piano competition? See the movement and the expression of the players. That is to say, do you think of playing, largely influenced by the movements of the players. Players play the enthusiasm, the more strongly you emotion perception of music. Here, you should think of lang lang.
Lang lang is not dark. But... He visual performance may play to his overall level added a ton.
This is our school of UCL Dr Chia - Jung Tsay experiment in 2013, published in PNAS, significant effect, you can be in the school official Youtube personally do the experiment. (link here, don't thank: Classical music competitions judged by sight, not sound)
Saying the Dr CAI is the first in my mind goddess, graduated from harvard psychologist and a professional pianist, now in the UCL Management Science and Innovation (Management Science and Innovation system) as an associate professor.
Also, she particularly elegant, with hand Youtube video cover cut it to you, is not too good. But, anyway I see when I have knelt down. After seeing her previous articles and experience, in addition to my mom, I've never been so worship a secular women, it is my ideal type.
I like music, beautiful music, I will be happy. Deep and sad music, I will have a trace of sadness. Quiet and comfortable music, I will be very quiet. Music is my best love. A place in the music to have my existence
我喜欢音乐，动听的音乐，我会快乐。低沉伤感的音乐，我会有一丝丝的忧伤。宁静而舒缓的音乐，我会变得安静。音乐是我的最爱。有音乐在的地方就有我的存在。本回答被网友采纳
