This article discusses the relationship between brain wave& some physical indexes and emotion evoked by different music types.Selected 20 subjects(half of music major and another half are non-major,and so are the gender)participated this experiments,displayed to them music types of minor and major modes which both of them were made with slow,middle and fast tempo,meantime recorded each physical indexes with Biopac systems. The results are:among the band waves of d,θ,a,βandy,the effects of major are remarkable in parietal,centre areas, frontal,and the energy od major's are higher than non-majors;d,θ,β,γevoked by minor mode are all higher than major mode excepta.In temporal,the gender factor is remarkable,and energies of males are all higher than female. Factors of major and gender in both of parietal and centre areas are remarkable inβ;so is gender factor in parietal, centre areas,prefrontal and temporal inγ,for it is decided by brain's physical structure between males and female. Meantime,theβandγwhich are happened because of the binding between brain areas,reflect the differences of gender in information integrity,and males are higher than females.There are remarkable difference between minor and major modes,in general,the energy in minor slow is highest and major fast is lowest.The major and gender factors are remarkable in heart rates.Majors are higher than non-majors,so are males than females,and it is obvious in minor modes.The music type factor is obvious in skin temperature,that of minor are lower than major's, instructing the temperature of negative emotions are lower than positive emotions.The music type and major factors in skin potential are remarkable,majors' are higher than non-majors'.Meaning the former could process music much better than the latter,and the minor's is higher than the major's.The factors of extent and frequency of inspiration are remarkable,and non-majors' are higher than majors',and the extent of major mode's are higher than the minor mode's.
