Music provides a means of communicating affective meaning. However, the neurological mechanisms by which music induces affect are not fully understood. Our project sought to investigate this through a series of experiments into how humans react to affective musical stimuli and how physiological and neurological signals recorded from those participants change in accordance with self-reported changes in affect. In this paper, the datasets recorded over the course of this project are presented, including details of the musical stimuli, participant reports of their felt changes in affective states as they listened to the music, and concomitant recordings of physiological and neurological activity. We also include non-identifying meta data on our participant populations for purposes of further exploratory analysis. This data provides a large and valuable novel resource for researchers investigating emotion, music, and how they affect our neural and physiological activity.
音乐提供了一种传达情感意义的方式。然而，音乐引起情感的神经机制尚未完全理解。我们的项目旨在通过一系列实验来研究这一点，这些实验研究了人类对情感音乐刺激的反应，以及从这些参与者记录的生理和神经信号如何根据自我报告的情感变化而变化。在本文中，呈现了在此项目过程中记录的数据集，包括音乐刺激的详细信息、参与者在听音乐时对情感状态变化的感受报告，以及生理和神经活动的伴随记录。我们还包括参与者群体的非识别元数据，以进行进一步的探索性分析。该数据集为研究情感、音乐以及它们如何影响我们的神经和生理活动的研究人员提供了一个大型而有价值的新资源。
