What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how digital artworks combining musicalized Impressionist paintings can affect emotional responses, particularly in relation to ecoanxiety, a form of anxiety linked to climate change. This study focuses on adults both young (18-35 years) and elderly (65+ years), examining how exposure to visual and auditory art stimuli may generate positive emotions and potentially improve mental health amid environmental concerns. Participants will be exposed to three conditions: viewing each painting alone (visual stimulation), listening to music created from plant electrophysiological signals inspired by each painting (auditory stimulation), and experiencing both stimuli together (bimodal stimulation). The paintings featured are by Helen McNicoll and Claude Monet, and the music is uniquely generated from natural signals. The study compares emotional responses between younger and older adults and evaluates the influence of ecoanxiety and engagement with the arts. During the study, participants' emotions will be assessed through physiological measures such as electrodermal activity and heart rate, as well as cognitive evaluations of emotional valence and arousal. Levels of ecoanxiety and engagement with music and art are recorded up to two weeks before the intervention. The study aims to understand emotional profiles triggered by these artistic experiences and their variation by age, with participation lasting one day for the intervention and assessments.
