Description

Entrainment can be used to support the maintenance or the change of emotional states, by influencing the player to progressively move from one state of resonance into another. Sound is one prominent way to implement entrainment, benefiting from the way humans resonate to auditory stimuli. The principles of entrainment and resonance have been exploited by music through the ages [5, 21, 35].
