A significant two-way interaction between group and hemisphere was also observed [ F (2,36) = 3.36, p = 0.046, η p 2 = 0.16], indicating that both the low-arousal music [ F (1,36) = 6.82, p = 0.013, η p 2 = 0.16] and high-arousal music groups [ F (1,36) = 29.18, p < 0.001, η p 2 = 0.45] exhibited stronger neural responses in the left than right hemisphere, while the silence group showed a marginally significant difference in neural responses between the left and right hemispheres [ F (1,36) = 3.80, p = 0.059, η p 2 = 0.10].
