Overview of the data handling process.

(A) We recorded individual time series for each scale and musical excerpt. (B) Individual time series were averaged across each scale and musical excerpt combination (error bars represent 95% CIs). (C) The time series was averaged within units of three consecutive seconds. (D) We applied a cubic spline interpolation using six sampling points in order to remove trends in the time series. The depicted example graphs represent the feeling moved ratings for Explosions as an illustration of the overall process.
