This is really, very interesting. I thought it was fascinating how differently we each react to different sounds. I think that based on our backgrounds, we are all going to react differently to each of these sounds. I suppose this is linked to our cognitive awareness, memories, personalities, etc. One of the sounds was dance music with heavy bass and the options for feelings were; confident, nervous, overwhelmed, excited, and claustrophobic. This shows a difference in personality within the test takers: possibly the difference between extroverts and introverts. I think the pictures they paired with each of the sounds also has an effect on the decision the brain is going to make on how it is going to feel. Without the given image, the brain could have related the sound to another image and therefore had a different emotion linked with it.
I think this experiment could also teach us something about the way we make music, as musicians and songwriters. We know that certain sounds are linked with people's memories and emotions and so we can use this to provoke certain emotions in our listeners and connect with them on a much deeper level.
