Specifically I investigated whether or not hemispheric dominance had any effect on the participants' responses to specific musical selections, and if men and women respond differently. Electroencephalography records neurons firing throughout the brain and picks up this electrical activity on the scalp. In this experiment two electrodes were placed behind the subject's ears, two on the subject's forehead, one on the scalp, and a ground electrode on the forearm. The results indicated that there was no effect of music on a particular hemisphere or brainwaves, although right-brained females and left-brained males showed the greatest response to all types of music. 2010 English text Wittenberg University Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wuhonors1338492751 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wuhonors1338492751 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
