Musical Effects Measured by a Single Square Voltage Pulse Method

Abstract

A single square voltage pulse (SSVP) method was used to measure the effects of 5 different categories of vocal music on electrical conductivity at the extremities of the body. The parameter BP which indicates electroconductivity showed the largest increase after listening to Xoomii music. As for the meridian system, the lung meridian showed the strongest increase for all music types. This seems to indicate that music effects made a dominant contribution which appeared to be related mainly to the respiratory function.
