Abstract EN
This paper proposes a method to translate human EEG into music, so as to represent mental state by music.
The arousal levels of the brain mental state and music emotion are implicitly used as the bridge between the mind world and the music.
The arousal level of the brain is based on the EEG features extracted mainly by wavelet analysis, and the music arousal level is related to the musical parameters such as pitch, tempo, rhythm, and tonality.
While composing, some music principles (harmonics and structure) were taken into consideration.
With EEGs during various sleep stages as an example, the music generated from them had different patterns of pitch, rhythm, and tonality.
35 volunteers listened to the music pieces, and significant difference in music arousal levels was found.
It implied that different mental states may be identified by the corresponding music, and so the music from EEG may be a potential tool for EEG monitoring, biofeedback therapy, and so forth.
