Released by Rachel Reilly: May 29, 2013 12: 22 EDT | update: May 30, 2013 02:47 EDT whether listening to blues or pop music, the human brain is connected to make the same music --
According to a new study, colors are linked no matter where we come from.
Experts have found that the color of the people associated with the melody depends on how they feel, not the culture they come from.
This shows that humans have a common emotional palette in terms of music and color, which seems intuitive and can cross cultural barriers.
In the study, Mozart's inspiring flute concerto
Number 1 in G major is easiest to relate to bright yellow and orange, while his dour Requiem in D minor is more likely to relate to dark blue gray.
In addition, classical orchestral works of the same color are linked in the United States and Mexico.
Professor Stephen Palmer said that this result was very strong and consistent in personal and cultural terms, and clearly pointed out that emotion is the main author of the UC Berkeley paper in the process of mapping the human brain from listening to music to seeing colors. Using a 37-
Research has found that people tend to pair faster
Rhythm music with a lighter, more vivid, yellow main key, and slower-
In a small key, rhythm music is more likely to be combined with darker, gray, and bluer colors.
"It's amazing that we can predict with 95% accuracy whether the color people choose is happy or sad, depending on whether the music they listen to is happy or sad," says Professor Palmer . ".
These findings may have an impact on creative therapies, advertising and even music player devices.
For example, they can be used to create more emotionally appealing electronic music visualization tools, that is, computer software that generates animated images that are synchronized with the music being played.
The researchers said that the current color and pattern appear to be randomly generated without taking into account the emotion.
They can also provide insight into syncopia, a nervous system disease in which stimuli of a sensory pathway, such as auditory music, lead to different ways of perception such as looking at color.
An example of soundto-
In the 2009 film "soloist", when cellist nazille Ayers listened to the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, he experienced the fascinating interaction of rotating colors.
Artists like Wassily Kandinksky and Paul Klee may have used musicto-
The sense of color in their creative efforts.
About 100 men and women participated in the study, half of them living in the San Francisco Bay Area and the other half living in Guadalajara, Mexico.
In the three experiments, they listened to 18 classical music works by composers John Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johannes prams,
In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music they were listening.
The palette consists of bright, bright, medium and dark colors in red, orange, yellow, green, yellow
Green, green, blue
Green, blue and purple.
Participants always pick bright, vivid, warm colors with cheerful music and dark, dull, cool colors to match more pieces of tears or blues.
In addition, their scoring criteria for each music is to be happy to be sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, angry to calm.
Two follow-up experiments on musicto-face and face-to-
Color associations support the researcher's assumption that "common emotions are responsible for music --to-

For example, when a participant selects a facial expression that is "best" with the music, the same pattern appears.
Cheerful music in main keys always paired with happy music
Look at the face when soft music pairs with sadness on the keypad --looking faces.
Similarly, happy faces are matched with yellow and other bright colors, and angry faces are matched with dark red.
Next, Professor Palmer and his research team plan to study the participants in Turkey. in Turkey, the scale of traditional music is not only large, but also small.
We know that in Mexico and the United States,S.
"The response is very similar," he said . ".
But we don't know much about China and Turkey.
