Brief Summary
Recent studies showed that various factors can contribute to the efficiency of a music therapy such as the type of music used, the type of instrument, the ethnicity, musical preference of the subjects and many others. Investigators noticed that most of studies and clinical trials, while acknowledging the importance of ethnicity and musical preferences, use the Western Music type in their investigations and practice. While in the Middle East, Music Therapy played a tremendous role in the 10th century since the "scales theory" of the famous Scientists El Farabi and Avicenna, very little countries of the Middle East are investing in scientific studies using Arabic Music as a therapeutic tool. This study will be an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based investigation on correlations of multiple factors that can influence the cortical responses of the subject to the music and self-reported state of emotion and anxiety.

Interventions
Participants listen to 24 different audio clips of 1 min long each, and select emotion in between. EEG is recorded while participants are listening. Participants select the emotion that best describes their feeling from Table 1 of the PANAS-X. https://www2.psychology.uiowa.edu/faculty/clark/panas-x.pdf
