현재의 음악 서비스들의 대부분은 음악을 가수 이름이나 장르와 같은 키워드들로 구분하여 사용자에게 제공한다. 하지만 음악의 장르가 다양해지고, 장르별로 음악의 유형도 다양해짐에 따라 키워드 기반은 음악 제공 방법만으로는 사용자가 원하는 음악을 제공하는데 한계가 있다. 이런 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 음악 자체의 성질을 기반으로 음악을 분석하는 컨텐츠 기반의 음악 분석 방법이 필요하다. 또한 사용자가 원하는 음악을 제공 받을 수 있도록 사용자의 음악 선호도를 분석하여 그에 맞는 음악을 제공하는 방법도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 음악의 시퀀스 정보와 특징을 추출하여 음악 모델을 구축하고, 이를 사용하여 사용자의 음악 선호도를 분석하는 방법을 제안하고, 사용자의 선호도에 맞는 음악을 제공하기 위하여 선호도 분석 방법을 통해 음악을 추천해주는 시스템을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the musical preference of autistic children. Based on the written responses of the questionnaire from mothers, therapists and teachers of 60 autistic children the music preference of the autistic children were analyzed. The results showed that the autistic children prefer music listening rather than playing or singing. The keyboard and piano are the most preferred instruments by these children. In music genre they prefer children's song and commercial music. Though they all have language disorder, they have a strong tendency toward music with text. It was also found that there is a relationship between music preference and behavior. The hyperactive and oppositional children have a tendency to enjoy more stimulative music compared to other autistic children.

Background: There is a need for index research on music therapy activities for the elderly in Korea. Purposes: This study aims to suggest application standards in music therapy by surveying the elderly's preference for music therapy activities. Methods: A survey of music-related actions and musical instrument preferences was conducted with 91 older people in 4 nursing homes. The questionnaire consisted of information about music activities, genres of songs, types of instruments, methods of movement, and purpose of participation in activities. Results: The preference for musical activities was for playing musical instruments, followed by singing, music appreciation, flowing movements, and concert-oriented activities. Music genres appeared in the order of popular songs, folk songs, and children's songs. The instrument type preferred drums, followed by shakers and woodblocks. As a movement application method, movement using themes is preferred. Participating in music activities was leisure, followed by stress relief and emotional cultivation. Conclusion: When applying music therapy to the elderly, it predicted that the treatment effect would be high when the elderly focus on playing musical instruments and singing activities preferred by the elderly. Music genres selected from popular music and folk songs, and musical instruments are drums and shakers. Therefore, if you use it, you can expect a more significant effect.

This study was to examine music preferences of school-aged cochlear implant(CI) recipients in comparison with normal hearing(NH) children. Participants were 12 CI recipients and 155 NH children. CI children were recruited from a hospital in Seoul and they had cochlear implants for longer than two years(M = 4.7). NH children were randomly sampled. All participants were asked to respond to a questionnaire and rate their music preferences. The results showed that while 58.33% of CI recipients preferred child voices, 71.61% of NH children preferred adult voices. For preferred frequency range, both of CI and NH groups preferred higher frequency. With regard to preferred musical styles, while CI children gave the highest rating(M = 3.58) to Korean folk songs on the 5-point Likert scale, popular music and TV and soundtrack music were found to be the highest-rated styles(M = 3.83) for NH children. These results indicate that self-rated music preferences of CI recipients may be affected by a musical environment that these children have experienced. The results also implies that the provision of appropriate musical input and experiences would significantly affect future music preferences and appreciation of CI children. Providing useful information about music preferences of CI recipients in comparison with NH children, this study has significant implications for further studies on this population.

현대에 많은 사람들이 스마트폰, mp3 player와 같은 휴대기기에 많은 음원 파일을 넣어 음악을 듣는다. 그 음악 중에는 잘 듣지 않는 것도 다수 존재하지만 사용자는 그런 파일을 즉시 지우지 않을뿐더러 자기 자신조차 어떤 음악을 즐겨듣는지 아닌지 모두 파악하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자들이 음악 재생기를 조작할 때 발생하는 행동 패턴을 기반으로 음악의 선호도를 산출하고, 이를 이용하여 음악 선호도 순위 정보를 사용자에게 제공하여 음악 관리를 편하게 할 수 있도록 해주는 시스템을 제안한다.

In this paper, we analyzed through the EEG signals how musical stimulus affects learning activities. Musical stimuli were divided into sedative and stimulative tendency music, preferred and non-preferred music, and the learning activity tasks were divided into mathematics tasks and memorization tasks. The signals measured in the EEG experiments were analyzed with the power spectrum of SMR waves known to be related to human concentration. Those spectra used for quantitative comparison in this paper. As a result the power of the EEG signals was observed to be greater than the case where music was given as a stimulus. Regardless of the type of task, the power of the EEG signals was observed to be greater in the case of sedative tendency than in the case of stimulative tendency, and the power of the EEG signals was observed to be greater in the case of favorite music than in the case of unfavorite music. From these results, it is estimated that if the musical stimulus exists, in the case of sedative tendency music, and in the case of favorite music, concentration can be increased than in the relative case.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the musical activities and musical preference according to coping strategy of university students. The survey was conducted to 200 students and the data of 168 was analysed. The results of the research are as follows. First, the number of problem-solving coping was the highest, and the number of emotional-alleviate coping was the lowest. And coping strategy between male and female student showed a significant difference. Second, music listening was the most preferred activity. There was a significant difference in the most preferred activity between male and female students, also between active and inactive coping strategy. However, the most doing activity between music major students and non-music major students showed a significant difference. In addition, there was a significant differences in the purpose of playing instruments between male and female students and among academic year. Third, Korean-pop was the most preferred genre. Result showed a significant difference in preferred musical elements between male and female students. There were genre, melody, loudness, and theme of lyric. Meanwhile, preferred musical elements between active and inactive coping strategy showed a statistical differences. There were rhythm, timbre, and medium of listening. Finally, there were statistical differences in the preferred harmony and familiarity between music major students and non-music major students.

In this paper, we presented the results of analysis with data obtained through EEG measurements to confirm the effect of musical stimulus when performing mathematical tasks. While the subject was solving a mathematical task, favorite and unfavorite music classified according to the subject's preference were presented as musical stimulus and the tasks were divided into memorization task and procedure task. The data measured in the EEG experiments was divided into theta waves, SMR waves and mid-beta waves which are the frequency bands related to concentration to compare the relative power spectrum values. In our results, in the case of comparing no music with favorite music and no music with unfavorite music, a significant difference was observed in the several channels, and the average difference was shown in the channels F3 and F4 of the frontal lobe. In that channels, the power was found to be greater when the music was presented than the case where there was no music. Depending on the subject's preference, it was confirmed that favorite music showed greater brain activity than unfavorite music.

In this paper, we analyzed the effects of musical stimuli on humans in performing mathematical tasks through EEG measurements. The musical stimuli were divided into preferred music and non-preferred music, and mathematical tasks were divided into memorization task and procedure task. The data measured in the EEG experiments was divided into frequency bands of Theta, SMR, and Mid-beta because of the concentration. In our results, preferred music causes more positive emotional response than no music and non-preferred music regardless of the type of mathematical task.

본 시스템은 개인이 가지고 있는 음악의 선호에 따라 다음 번에 재생 할 음악 목록을 구성하는 것이 목적이다. 여기서 음악의 선호는 사용자가 음악을 끝까지 들었는지 혹은 음악을 끝까지 듣지 않고 다음 곡으로 넘겼는지 여부에 따라 판단된다. 또한 이 선호에 대한 누적 평가 값에 한계치를 두고 누적 평가 값과 최근 평가 값을 합산함으로써 변화하는 사용자의 취향에 맞추어 재생 목록을 구성할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 새로운 목록을 구성 할수록 평균적인 사용자의 최근 선호도에 따라 재생 목록이 구성됨을 알 수 있었다.
