This study was undertaken to examine the physiological effect of music on the living body from a viewpoint of "comfortableness". The healthy individuals as the subjects were asked to listen to a stimulative "favorrite music", "musicaiming at relaxation" as the control and "unpleasant music". And the physiological effect of each music was studied. The results suggest a possibility that the difference in the three varieties of music presented above can be quantitatively evaluated by analysis of EEG frequencies. When an introspective report and changes in EEG when listening to music were studied together, it was shown that there were two qualitatively different varieties of "comfortableness" : a stimulative (activating) "comfotableness" and relaxative (sedative) "comfortableness". The subjective experience obtained and images generated by listening to music are shown to be reflected in changes of EEG. So, the introspective report can possibly serve as a simple indicator for the influence of musical stimulation on the living body.
