The present study is an experimental analysis of music preference as a factor of music distraction measured by the Stroop tests. Significant differences were found amoung groups given, most preferred music, least preferred music, and no music (quiet). Each group of 10 subjects were randomly chosen from 42 screened subjects. Performance was better without music and better with most preferred than with least preferred music. The results were not consistent with those previously found for the effects of noise upon Stroop test performance.

Music generation by AI algorithms like Transformer is currently a research hotspot. Existing methods often suffer from issues related to coherence and high computational costs. To address these problems, we propose a novel Transformer-based model that incorporates a gate recurrent unit with root mean square norm restriction (TARREAN).

Introduction: The study was conducted to observe the effect of using relaxing sounds as a nonpharmacological intervention on anxiety levels and vital signs among patients who underwent extraction.
Materials And Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted, and patients with an indication of dental extraction, who were physically and mentally healthy, were invited to voluntarily participate in the study. Dental anxiety was assessed by measuring blood pressure, heart rates, and respiratory rates as well as with the help of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) questionnaire before and after the procedure.
Estimating Earphone Level and Dose Using Real-Ear Measures and Ecological Momentary Assessment.

Purpose: Prior work estimating sound exposure dose from earphone use has typically measured earphone use time with retrospective questionnaires or device-based tracking, both of which have limitations. This research note presents an exploratory analysis of sound exposure dose from earphone use among college-aged adults using real-ear measures to estimate exposure level and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to estimate use time.
Method: Earphone levels were measured at the ear drum of 53 college students using their own devices, earphones, and preferred music and speech stimuli at their normal listening volume.
Effects of preferred music on internal load in adult recreational athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Niš, Niš, Serbia.
Introduction: When exercising to preferred music (PM), participants found more satisfaction and less typical exercise-related fatigue, which made it easier and more enjoyable to maintain the physical activity (PA) until the exercise goals were achieved. The purpose of this review and meta-analysis was to determine whether changes on internal training load in adult recreational athletes were modified by listening to PM and non-preferred music (NPM), during different PA.
Evidence Acquisition: A music-focused search was performed on the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant articles to this topic published after 2000 to investigate the effects of PM on psychophysiological responses to PA.
