EEG-Based Prediction of Music Enjoyment Using Deep Learning with Explainable Temporal Analysis
Understanding why listeners enjoy music is difficult because the experience is subjective and changes as a piece unfolds. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a non-invasive way to study neural responses during listening, yet earlier work has mostly treated music emotion as a categorical label or relied on black-box models. We formulate enjoyment prediction as a regression problem on the public MUSIN-G dataset, which contains 128-channel EEG from 20 listeners together with song-level enjoyment ratings. Six deep learning models were compared under a participant-wise protocol, in which 15 listeners were used for training and validation and 5 were held out for testing. DeepConvNet, CNN-LSTM a...
