Abstract: A computer implemented method for analysing sounds, such as audio tracks, and automatically classifying the sounds in a space in which arousal is one axis and valence is another axis. The location of a sound or track in that arousal-valence space is automatically determined using a computer implemented system that analyses, measures or infers values for each of the following base feature parameters: harmonicity, turbulence, rhythmicity, sharpness, volume and linear harmonic cost, or any combination of two or more of those parameters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for analysing audio (eg. music) tracks. A predictive model of the neuro-physiological functioning and response to sounds by one or more of the human lower cortical, limbic and subcortical regions in the brain is described. Sounds are analysed so that appropriate sounds can be selected and played to a listener in order to stimulate and/or manipulate neuro-physiological arousal in that listener. The method and system are particularly applicable to applications harnessing a biofeedback resource.
