Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore possible benefits and mechanisms through which listening to music can improve health and wellness. The main goals of the study are:

* To investigate whether pre-survey measures of autonomic reactivity relate to the overall functioning of participants.
* To examine the immediate effects of listening to the augmented music.
* To identify individual characteristics that influence the immediate effects of listening to the augmented music.

Participants will:

PHASE 1:

* Complete the online pre- and post-surveys
* Listen to the brief music demo
* Listen to the full 15-minutes music session

PHASE 2:

* Complete the online pre- and post-surveys.
* Heart rate data will be collected continuously for about 25 minutes. It will be collected for 5 minutes before and after the intervention, and for 15 minutes during the intervention.
* Provide pre- and post- music saliva samples (1.5mL).
* Listen to full 15-minutes music session.
