{"pk":49507,"title":"How Generative Music Affects the ISO Principle-Based Emotion-Focused Therapy: An EEG Study","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Recently, AI-generated content (AIGC) technologies have made remarkable advancements, even achieving superhuman performance across various domains. However, few previous studies have investigated its impact on emotion-focused therapy with artistic content, e.g., music. In this paper, we conducted an EEG experiment to explore the effects of generative music on emotion-focused music therapy based on the ISO principle. This experiment compared AI-generated and human-created music regarding the changes in participants' valence and arousal following negative emotion induction with the ISO principle adherence and non-adherence. The results show that generative music, with its harmonic consistency and simple rhythm, is more effective in supporting positive emotions and improving temporal lobe activity. Besides, the therapeutic effectiveness of generative music adhering to the ISO principle has also been validated. This study highlights the distinct emotional and neural mechanisms of AI-generated music, offering valuable insights into future AI-powered emotion-focused therapy strategies.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Artificial Intelligence; Emotion; Mood; Music; Electroencephalography (EEG)"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8vm0733p","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jiayu","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bao","name_suffix":"","institution":"Soochow University","department":""},{"first_name":"Yaxing","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lyu","name_suffix":"","institution":"Xiamen University Malaysia","department":""},{"first_name":"Jingyi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yang","name_suffix":"","institution":"Beijing University of Chemical Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Yucheng","middle_name":"","last_name":"Jin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Duke Kunshan University","department":""},{"first_name":"Jiangtao","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gong","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tsinghua University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49507/galley/37469/download/"}]}
