Abstract
In order to explore the influence of Baroque music on Undergraduates’ recognition memory, this study randomly selected 63 students from a university as subjects, taking mixed design of 3 × 2 to examine the recognition accuracy of the subjects on Chinese and English materials under the condition of Baroque music as background music as well as pilot music and without background music and collected each band EEG data of the subjects under the three conditions through biofeedback instrument. The results showed that: (1) The music group’s main effect was not significant; No matter what kind of music mode, the recognition accuracy of Chinese material was significantly higher than the English; (2) There were significant differences between groups of pilot music and background music as well as without background music in α brain waves, but there was no significant difference between group of without background music and background music.
