瞳孔反应是情绪唤起的一个众所周知的指标，但尚未系统地研究对音乐的反应。在这里，我们测量了简短音乐片段引起的瞳孔扩张，这些片段根据强度进行了标准化，并根据其风格一致性进行了选择。30名参与者（15名女性）提供了主观评级的音乐引起的感觉唤醒，紧张，愉快，熟悉的80个古典音乐摘录。在另外30名参与者（15名女性）中测量这些摘录引起的瞳孔反应。我们探讨了情绪，压力反应，自我报告的音乐在生活中的作用，喜欢选定的摘录，以及对音乐的主观反应，瞳孔反应等特定特征的作用。线性混合模型分析表明，音乐在生活中的更大作用与更大的扩张相关，并且预测更大的扩张也适用于更激动人心或紧张的摘录。然而，觉醒和喜欢的摘录之间的相互作用表明，瞳孔反应调制不太强烈的觉醒时，摘录特别喜欢。在紧张和喜欢之间观察到类似的相互作用。此外，男性比女性表现出更大的扩张。总的来说，这些发现表明自下而上和自上而下对瞳孔对音乐反应的影响之间存在复杂的相互作用。
Pupillary responses are a well-known indicator of emotional arousal but have not yet been systematically investigated in response to music. Here, we measured pupillary dilations evoked by short musical excerpts normalized for intensity and selected for their stylistic uniformity. Thirty participants (15 females) provided subjective ratings of music-induced felt arousal, tension, pleasantness, and familiarity for 80 classical music excerpts. The pupillary responses evoked by these excerpts were measured in another thirty participants (15 females). We probed the role of listener-specific characteristics such as mood, stress reactivity, self-reported role of music in life, liking for the selected excerpts, as well as of subjective responses to music, in pupillary responses. Linear mixed model analyses showed that a greater role of music in life was associated with larger dilations, and that larger dilations were also predicted for excerpts rated as more arousing or tense. However, an interaction between arousal and liking for the excerpts suggested that pupillary responses were modulated less strongly by arousal when the excerpts were particularly liked. An analogous interaction was observed between tension and liking. Additionally, males exhibited larger dilations than females. Overall, these findings suggest a complex interplay between bottom-up and top-down influences on pupillary responses to music.
