I defend a model of the musically extended mind. I consider how acts of "musicking" grant access to novel emotional experiences otherwise inaccessible. First, I discuss the idea of "musical affordances" and specify both what musical affordances are and how they invite different forms of entrainment. Next, I argue that musical affordances - via soliciting different forms of entrainment - enhance the functionality of various endogenous, emotion-granting regulative processes, drawing novel experiences out of us with an expanded complexity and phenomenal character. I argue that music therefore ought to be thought of as part of the vehicle needed to realize these emotional experiences. I appeal to different sources of empirical work to develop this idea.
我捍卫音乐延伸心智的模型。我考虑“音乐行为”如何使人们获得新颖的、原本无法获得的情感体验。首先，我讨论了“音乐促进”的概念，并具体说明了音乐促进是什么，以及它们如何邀请不同形式的同步。接下来，我认为，音乐促进——通过寻求不同形式的同步——增强了各种内源性、赋予情感的调节过程的功能，以更复杂和更明显的方式从我们身上引出新颖的体验。我认为，因此，应该将音乐视为实现这些情感体验所需的载体的一部分。我诉诸于不同的实证工作来源来发展这一观点。
