Background and aims: Music exposure is a potential method of therapy in neuropsychiatric diseases including epilepsy. We raised the hypothesis that the ‘Mozart effect’ can be explained by the music’s acoustic properties. Methods: Eighteen epilepsy surgery candidates with intracerebral electrodes implanted in the temporal cortex listened to the Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos K448 and to the Haydn’s ‘Surprise’ Symphony. Musical features with respect to rhythm, melody, and harmony were analysed. Results: Epileptiform discharges (ED) in SEEG were reduced by Mozart’s music. Listening to Haydn’s music led to reduced ED only in the women; in the men, the ED increased. The acoustic analysis revealed that non-dissonant music with a harmonic spectrum and decreasing tempo with significant high-frequency parts has a reducing effect on ED in men. To reduce ED in women, the music should additionally be, in terms of loudness, gradually less dynamic. These acoustic characteristics are more dominant in Mozart’s music than in Haydn’s music. The fMRI brain activation during listening to music showed stronger functional connectivity in salient, sensorimotor and memory networks in 20 professionals as compared to non-musicians. In men more frontal and in women more parietal areas were activated. Conclusion: We confirmed the ‘Mozart effect’ in epilepsy. The acoustic characteristics of music are responsible for supressing brain epileptic activity. We suggest the use of musical pieces with well-defined acoustic properties and well-defined characteristics of studied persons are important for studying the ‘Mozart effect’ in neuropsychiatric diseases.
