Protocol to visualize a bodily map of musical uncertainty and prediction.

Abstract

Music deeply influences our bodies as well as minds. Here, we present a protocol to visualize a bodily sensation map elicited by music perception using body-mapping tests and emotional evaluations. We describe steps for setting the body-map test and musical stimuli based on prediction. We then detail procedures for visualizing the body map and identifying body areas in which musical stimuli influence subjective sensations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Daikoku et al.¹.
