Abstract

Music plays an essential role in every human being’s life. It can stimulate the brain signal of human beings that are accountable for emotion, behavior, and cognition. This association of music with brain signals is the fundamental concept of musical therapy. Musical therapy is a recent trend in neurosciences that is highly beneficial for neurologically disordered patients due to its non-medicinal and non-invasive approach. As each music genre provides a unique change in the brain signal, music therapy utilizes various genres of music for different applications of treatment. This work has examined the effect of the instrumental music genre on human brain signals. Electroencephalogram signals from frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes during listening to flute and violin instrumental music has been recorded and analyzed to locate the changes in the cortical region. The outcome of this work will emphasize the advantages of the instrumental music genre for musical therapy.
