Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

Electroencephalographical Characteristics of Mental Representation of Music in Practical Application to Musical Composition

ABSTRACT : We assume that perception of music is based on identification and detachment of music structure. Music structure is determined by a range of characteristics: pitch and phonic characteristics, mode, timbre, tempo and dynamics, rhythm, meter, and general texture (means of music composition, which form the technical structure of music). Identification of music structures is conditioned by experience, on one hand, which includes all the cultural luggage of an individual - cultural environment, education, everyday experience, and by physiological mechanisms of auditory perception, processing, working memory and emotional regulation of the nervous system, on the other hand. Different physiological aspects of music perception have been studied in details. But there is still a big gap between physiological studies concerning particular mechanisms of auditory perception and music theory. How to compose music so that it would always hit the target, be remembered and understood? This is still a question for modern composers.

KEYWORDS : perception of music, music patterns, EEG, EEG coherence, mental representation task, music composition
