In this paper we present a methodological framework for the study of musical emotions, incorporating psycho- physiological experiments and modelling techniques for data analysis. Our focus is restricted to the body implica- tions as a possible source of information about the emo- tional experience, and responsible to certain levels of emo- tional engagement in music. We present and apply the use of spatiotemporal connectionist models, as a modelling technique. Simulation results using a simple recurrent net- work, demonstrate that our connectionist approach leads to a better fit of the simulated process, compared with pre- vious models. We demonstrate that a spatiotemporal con- nectionist model trained on music and emotional rating data is capable of generalizing the level of arousal in re- sponse to novel music input. The model is also capable of identifying the main variables responsible for such an emo- tional rating behaviour.
