[Perception of consonant and dissonant chords: changes in the power of the EEG evoked activity].
Human perception of dissonant and consonant chords was studied by analyzing brain evoked activity. It was found that the perception of dissonant chords was accompanied by activation of the right frontal lobe, which controls negative emotions. Consonant chords activated the left frontal region, which controls positive emotions.
