Guerino Mazzola (Fall 2015 © ): Honors Seminar Jonathan Winson: Hippocampal Gate Hypothesis Music is a key to unconscious emotional contents Elton John and Diana
Guerino Mazzola (Fall 2015 © ): Honors Seminar Result Consonant and dissonant intervals and associated harmonic or contrapuntal structures evoke a hippocampal process, which activates a gateway to mainly subconscious memory contents. In other words, Winson’s gate hypothesis of the hippocampal formation must also be stated in the sense of the existence of a musicogenic key to the gate. This thesis does not mean that music generates emotions, it only retrieves and reactivates them from a memory database. So it acts on the brain like a drug and enables emotional effects. In this metaphor, the ‘chemical formula’ of the „music drug“ corresponds to the involved musical structure. Music is a key to the subconscious emotional contents
