Previous research has shown that exposure to classical music can influence performance on a spatial task. The present study investigated EEG correlates of this enhanced performance effect, 4 female and 4 male undergraduates completed two equivalent spatial tests, one following a control procedure and one following the presentation of Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. EEG was recorded during a baseline and two task-performance periods. Test performance and EEG recordings were analyzed, and correlations were generated between task performance and EEG variables (average spectral power and peak frequency within 5 frequency ranges). Performance improved significantly following the presentation of the music. EEG analysis indicated 6 reliable correlations out of 40 calculated between differential EEG variables and changes in performance. Ten reliable correlations out of 120 were also found between changes in performance and nondifferential EEG variables across baseline, control, and experimental conditions.
先前的研究表明，接触古典音乐可以影响空间任务的表现。本研究调查了这种增强表现效应的脑电图相关性，4名女大学生和4名男大学生完成了两项等效的空间测试，一项遵循对照程序，另一项在播放莫扎特《D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲》后进行。在基线期和两个任务执行期记录脑电图。分析测试表现和脑电图记录，并在任务表现与脑电图变量（5个频率范围内的平均频谱功率和峰值频率）之间建立相关性。播放音乐后表现显著改善。脑电图分析表明，在计算出的40个脑电图差异变量与表现变化之间的相关性中，有6个可靠的相关性。在基线、对照和实验条件下，表现变化与非差异脑电图变量之间也发现了120个相关性中的10个可靠相关性。
