Electroencephalography and Musical Preference Correlation
Motivation
As someone who is always searching for a new favorite song, I was interested in discovering ways that will help others like me find songs which match their music preferences without an exhausting hunt. I found in this project the opportunity to explore a question I had: if music influences our brain activity, is there a difference in our brain activity when listening to music we like and music we dislike? How I built it
I collected, preprocessed, and extracted features from raw EEG data to explore if there is a difference in our brain activity when listening to music we like and music we dislike. I used Support Vector Machine algorithm to solve my classification problem which provided a classification accuracy of 87% for one participant (me :D).
