A Psycholinguistic Study: The Influence of Violin Sounds on the Human Psyche and Brain

Abstract This article reports on a study that conducted a comprehensive psycholinguistic analysis of how violin sounds influence the human brain and psyche. The research methodology included the development of a multimodal questionnaire, based on established psycholinguistic approaches, to measure the emotional, cognitive, and other reactions of listeners. The results of the study strongly suggest that violin sounds exercise a significant influence on the intensity of emotional states of listeners. The correlation analysis confirms the relationship between the intensity of emotional states and cognitive processes, as well as between cognitive processes and aesthetic perception.
