Thrills, chills, frissons, and skin orgasms: toward an integrative model of transcendent psychophysiological experiences in music [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Music has a unique power to elicit moments of intense emotional and psychophysiological response. These moments – termed “chills,” “thrills”, “frissons,” etc. – are subjects of introspection and philosophical debate, as well as scientific study in music perception and cognition. The present article integrates the existing multidisciplinary literature in an attempt to define a comprehensive, testable, and ecologically valid model of transcendent psychophysiological moments in music.
