Description
Summary:Our states of mind keep on changing all the time. How do we determine a mapping between our states of mind and music stimulus? In this report, we discuss, from a bird’s eye view, the meanings and effects of music which are impressed upon us.

We point out challenges and suggest plausible computational approches to the affective music computing.
