Study Reveals Music's Role in Synchronizing Heart Rates and Emotions
Research shows heart rate synchronization depends on physiological responses, not mood or music preferences, enhancing understanding of collective experiences in theaters.
- Heart rate synchronization in response to music is more consistent within individuals than between different people.
- The study found that physiological responses, rather than mood or music preferences, drive synchronization.
- This insight explains the reproducibility of emotional experiences in theater audiences.
- Findings suggest that improving physiological reliability can enhance audience engagement in performances.
- Engineered devices may be developed to boost synchronization among theatergoers.
