Emotional responses to auditory hierarchical structures is shaped by bodily sensations and listeners' sensory traits.

ABSTRACT: Emotional responses to auditory stimuli are a common part of everyday life. However, for some individuals, these auditory-induced emotions can become distressing enough to interfere with daily functioning. Despite the prevalence of these experiences, the mechanisms underlying auditory-induced emotional responses remain only partially understood.
