One important aspect of this project is to research the connection between music and emotions by means of electro-encephalography (EEG) where the ultimate aim is to develop an “affective brain computer interface” with which patients suffering from language disorders, due to neurological diseases such aphasia, autism, and dementia, can express their emotions via EEG without using facial expressions, gestures or other forms of muscular activity.
