Reflections on music perception: The artificial body and empathy

empathy, music psychology, emotions, artificial body, semiotics, music cognitionAbstract
The emotional connection experienced by the receptor while listening to music has been a concept vaguely asserted in music research. More or less three decades ago, music psychology as a discipline emerged to try to understand this phenomenon and, recently, neuroscience and humanities have also become involved. However, the implications of automatic and unconscious responses in the listener are still not completely understood by scientists. By following modern studies and authors that suggest that empathy is the main organ of perception due to the illusion of a artificial body, this text presents a interdisciplinary approach in order to understand embodied emotions derived from music listening.
