The music you like and the way you hear it heavily depend on the society and music you grew into. Within this context I study the perception of music of a special group of people: Israeli Arabs who are exposed to music ranging from traditional Arab with all its microtones, special scales (maqamat), modulations, melodic embellishments etc., through semi- Westernized popular Arab music, to Western and Israeli pop, rock, and world music.  Can we learn something about how such exposure can actually shape our (in)sensitivities to certain elements in the music? our emotional responses to it? and even the signals our brain emits when we listen to different types of music?
