Early Investigations into Music-Induced Neural and Cardiovascular Responses
摘要
This study aims to explore the neural correlation to heartbeat in response to music, unraveling the mechanisms by which musical stimuli influence the human nervous and cardiovascular systems. Through empirical research involving 30 participants aged 18–22, we observed that slow music significantly accelerates heart rate recovery post-exercise, with an average resting heart rate of 75.6 bpm and an average elevated heart rate of 103.8 bpm. Utilizing a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, our machine learning analysis demonstrated a notable predictive accuracy with an \(R^2\) score of 0.77, indicating a substantial correlation between predicted and actual recovery times. Additionally, EEG data revealed distinct neural patterns corresponding to different musical stimuli, suggesting that slow music enhances parasympathetic activation and promotes a faster return to homeostasis. Through empirical research, the study strives to contribute valuable insights that can inform the development of innovative applications and interventions, harnessing the power of music to promote happier and healthier lives.
