Music Experience Rating Scale
Objective: Assess patient responses to music across dimensions of liking, resonance, and openness during psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression
This is a Music Experience Rating Scale protocol using human as the model organism. The procedure involves 5 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2018 paper published in Psychopharmacology.
Model and subjects
human • 19
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Conduct semi-structured interviews • Apply interpretative phenomenological analysis • Rate liking dimension
Primary readouts
- Liking ratings for music during psilocybin therapy
- Resonance ratings (harmony with emotional state)
- Openness ratings (acceptance of music-evoked experience)
- Salient themes identified through phenomenological analysis

Conduct semi-structured interviews
Conduct semi-structured interviews with patients to inquire about the different ways in which music influenced their experience during psilocybin therapy
Note: Interviews focused on music's influence on the psychedelic therapy experience
View evidence from paper
“Semi-structured interviews inquired about the different ways in which music influenced the experience of 19 patients undergoing psychedelic therapy with psilocybin”
Apply interpretative phenomenological analysis
Apply interpretative phenomenological analysis to the interview data to identify salient themes
Note: Analysis method for qualitative interview data
View evidence from paper
“Interpretative phenomenological analysis was applied to the interview data to identify salient themes”
Rate liking dimension
Provide ratings for each patient for the extent to which they expressed liking of the music
Note: First dimension of the Music Experience Rating Scale
View evidence from paper
“ratings were given for each patient for the extent to which they expressed "liking,"”
Rate resonance dimension
Provide ratings for each patient for resonance, defined as the music being experienced as harmonious with the emotional state of the listener
Note: Second dimension of the Music Experience Rating Scale
View evidence from paper
“"resonance" (the music being experienced as "harmonious" with the emotional state of the listener)”
Rate openness dimension
Provide ratings for each patient for openness, defined as acceptance of the music-evoked experience
Note: Third dimension of the Music Experience Rating Scale
View evidence from paper
“"openness" (acceptance of the music-evoked experience)”
