Music and mood are closely interrelated with each other which may change people’s perception when they listen to music. Researchers Jojij and Meurs conducted a test subjects to identify happy and sad smileys while listening to happy or sad music. Jojij findings states that “seeing things that are not there is the result of top-down processes in the brain.” According to him, the brain continuously compares the information that comes in through the eyes with what it expects on the basis of what you know about the world. The result of the comparison process suggests that the brain builds up expectations on the basis of mood and experience. The theories given above describe the emotional impact of music to its listeners

The findings of Paquette, Peretz and Belin showed “musical emotional outburst” (MEB) can be an effective process to test perception in patients with communication problems. The MEB can be used to compare the celebral processing of emotional expressions in music and vocal communication. Their studies showed that music can be a new method to explore the human brain and emotions can now be studied utilizing validated stimuli. Music is often described as the ‘language of emotions’ and recent research on basic musical emotions has shown that emotion recognition in music is consistent across listeners. These basic emotions are categorized as happiness, sadness, anger, fear and
