The term jitter and shimmer has long been used in the domain of speech and\nacoustic signal analysis as a parameter for speaker identification and other\nprosodic features. In this study, we look forward to use the same parameters in\nneural domain to identify and categorize emotional cues in different musical\nclips. For this, we chose two ragas of Hindustani music which are\nconventionally known to portray contrast emotions and EEG study was conducted\non 5 participants who were made to listen to 3 min clip of these two ragas with\nsufficient resting period in between. The neural jitter and shimmer components\nwere evaluated for each experimental condition. The results reveal interesting\ninformation regarding domain specific arousal of human brain in response to\nmusical stimuli and also regarding trait characteristics of an individual. This\nnovel study can have far reaching conclusions when it comes to modeling of\nemotional appraisal. The results and implications are discussed in detail.\n
