Abstract
The chapter begins with a necessary introduction describing the fundamental importance of music in human life. Sounds of nature and typical music created by humans according to accepted rules (that are also nature philosophy derivatives) are considered here. Nowadays, music is used to intentional change the psychophysical state of a human being. It would be relatively easy to indicate that music stimulates activities, it is much more complicated to select such types of sound stimulation, which would be useful for recreation - music therapy is meant here. Currently, the choice is rather heuristic than algorithmic.
For a holistic analysis a snapshot of formal methods known in psychology is provided, such as Faces Pain Scale, State - Trait Anxiety Inventory (to assess anxiety), Rating Anxiety in Dementia (effective studying the influence of quiet music), Relax Rating Scale (a simple instrument to assess the relaxation degree), and techniques commonly known as biomedical measurement such as ECG , HR, BP , EEG, EEG or temperature measurement.
