MAIN FINDING: Music can evoke strong emotions, and specific brain activity patterns correlate with these emotional responses.
KEY EVIDENCE: Participants' brain activity was analyzed while listening to self-selected music, revealing consistent neural correlates in limbic regions.
APPROACH: Using personalized fMRI and multivoxel pattern analysis, the study examined how familiar music triggers emotions in the brain.
SIGNIFICANCE: The findings enhance the understanding of emotional processing in the brain, highlighting the potential of music in affective research.
