Abstract

EEG(electroencephalogram) is characterized with auditory emotion in this study. Twenty university students participated in this study. The auditory stimulus was the natural sounds such as creek sound, clash, machining noise, and etc. They can cause the positive and negative emotion. EEG characteristics according to positive and negative auditory stimuli is tried to observe statistic difference. The significant difference is shown depending on the localized area. The auditory paraameters of EEG variation is examined for defining human emotion qualitatively. The results shows that the alpha and the beta at temproal area may be thd determinat of human auditory emotion.
