Abstract
As people’s lives become easier because of conveniences and richer in material assets, they may tend to worsen in terms of mental stress, resulting in physical conditions such as insomnia and related sleep disorders. Prior literatures have advocated music as an efficacious way to reduce stress; however, only a few studies have connected music features with a combination of personal cognition factors and physiological signals. This study aims to investigate and identify the music characteristics which can relax people and which comprise the most soothing music for therapeutic application by utilizing fuzzy c-means clustering for classifying music for therapeutic music design. Our findings align with heart rate variability data to confirm the consistency in psychology and physiology. This study provides suggestions for music therapy service, indicating a strong positive direction for selecting music appropriate for therapeutic applications.
