Can music shape ongoing thoughts and visual mental images?

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Xi Zhang .

We know that music can evoke and regulate emotions, but its capability to influence conscious thought is yet to be systematically explored. Although some mental phenomena such as music-evoked autobiographical memories have received much attention from researchers, very little is known about other types of internally-oriented cognition, such as mind-wandering and visual mental imagery. In this talk I will (1) illustrate the relevance of these types of cognition for musical context, (2) present novel findings showing a strong relationship with emotion, and (3) highlight relevant implications for mental health and well-being.

This talk is part of the CMS seminar series in the Faculty of Music series.
