Subject: Neuro-physiology and music structures
Has there been any research done on harmonic/chord structures, explaining why some patterns of music are more "appealing" than others? And, I wonder if the appeal of these structures are cultural? In other words, does the twelve bar blues appeal to everyone? Is the I, IV, V chord progression universal in appeal? Why?
