Popis: Music has the ability to cause intense emotional experiences with perceptible physical reactions as their outcome [1, 2, 3]. “Chills” or “goose bumps” have been found to be reliable indicators of emotional peaks in music listening through the combination of self-reporting methods and the concrete measurements of physical reactions [4, 5, 6]. In this way it is possible to identify musical passages that are especially effective at producing emotional peak experiences [5]. These experiences can be evoked in many ways and are often connected to music on a highly subjective level [7]. Nevertheless, large groups of listeners often seem to agree on the effectiveness of certain music and even specific passages in this regard [5, 6, 8].
