Music tension is a link between music structures and emotions. As music unfolds, developmental patterns induce various emotional experiences, but the relationship between developmental patterns and tension experience remains unclear. The present study compared two developmental patterns of two successive phrases (tonal shift and melodic shift) with repetition condition to investigate the relationship with tension experience. Professional musicians rated on-line felt tension and EEG responses were recorded while listening to music sequences. Behavioral results showed that tension ratings under tonal and melodic shift conditions were higher than those under repetition conditions. ERP results showed larger potentials at early P300 and late positive component (LPC) time windows under tonal shift condition, and early right anterior negativity (ERAN) and LPC under melodic shift condition. ERSP results showed early beta and late gamma power increased under tonal shift condition, theta power decreased and alpha power increased under melodic shift condition. Our findings suggest that developmental patterns play a vital role in tension experiences; tonal shift affects tension by tonal shift detection and integration, while melodic shift affects tension by attentional processing and working memory integration. From the perspective of Event Structure Processing Model, solid evidence was given to specify the time-span segmentation and reduction.
音乐张力是音乐结构与情感之间的联系。随着音乐的展开，发展模式会引起各种情感体验，但发展模式与紧张体验之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究比较了两个连续短语（音高转移和旋律转移）的两种发展模式与重复条件，以研究与紧张体验的关系。专业音乐家在线评分时，记录了他们在听音乐序列时的感觉紧张和脑电图反应。行为结果表明，在音高和旋律转移条件下的紧张评分高于重复条件下的紧张评分。ERP 结果表明，在音高转移条件下，早期 P300 和晚期正成分（LPC）时间窗口的电位较大，在旋律转移条件下，早期右前负（ERAN）和 LPC 的电位较大。ERSP 结果表明，在音高转移条件下，早期β和晚期γ功率增加，在旋律转移条件下，θ功率降低，α功率增加。我们的研究结果表明，发展模式在紧张体验中起着至关重要的作用；音高转移通过音高转移检测和整合来影响紧张，而旋律转移通过注意力处理和工作记忆整合来影响紧张。从事件结构处理模型的角度来看，为指定时间跨度的分割和减少提供了确凿的证据。
