Turns out susceptibility to such “chills” (induced by music, poetry, art) varies between people & that genetic differences play a part. Check out our new paper, led by @giacomobignardi.bsky.social. 👇🧪

Can the same song make you feel happy and sad? Our new study shows emotional complexity—feeling both positive and negative emotions—is common with personally meaningful music, but varies across people. Discover what influences it: doi.org/10.1016/j.jr...
