Abstract: The hypothesis that peculiarities of perception and experience are specifically reflected in parameters of EEG when hearing through the musical compositions is verified. It was proposed that emotions evoked by music change the patterns of electroencephalogram. The combinations of parameters coding music image were revealed. In investigation 47 healthy Ss heard through the different music and estimated it by 18 scales. It was revealed that EEG recorded during the hearing through music was changed in teta- and beta-diapasons with frequency-amplitude characteristics of right hemisphere. This fact is distinguished from the data on coding of human intellectual activity when the characteristics of fluctuation in diapason of alpha-rhythm in different points of cortex are the electrophysiological predictors.
