Abstract
Many studies have revealed that music has an effect on heart-rate and emotional state. Tempo and timbre have been studied and used in various experiments. While all seem to have an effect on variations in heart-rate, the area left commonly ignored is whether or not the results of these studies can be generalized into something as simple as musical genre association. This is an important distinction in terms of how deeply music can effect humans both psychologically and physiologically.
