Predicted that if a person were more cognitively immersed in a piece of music, then he or she might be more likely to experience frisson as a result of paying closer attention to the stimuli. And we suspected that whether or not someone would become cognitively immersed in a piece of music in the first place would be a result of his or her personality type.

To test this hypothesis, participants were brought into the lab and wired up to an instrument that measures galvanic skin response, a measure of how the electrical resistance of people’s skin changes when they become physiologically aroused.

Examples of pieces used in the study include:

The first two minutes and 11 seconds of J. S. Bach’s St. John’s Passion: Part 1 – Herr, unser Herrscher

The first two minutes and 18 seconds of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1: II

The first 53 seconds of Air Supply’s Making Love Out of Nothing At All

The first three minutes and 21 seconds of Vangelis' Mythodea: Movement 6

The first two minutes of Hans Zimmer’s Oogway Ascends
