Emotion in Raag

I am interested in constructing a cognitively grounded theory of raag, the fundamental melodic concept of Indian music, that explains how raags evoke emotions. I have conducted research that shows that raags do in fact reliably evoke different clusters of emotions (Chordia 08). To understand this, I have also conducted experiments to understand the role of basic acoustic cues such as sensory dissonance (Chordia 07) as well as responses that depend on tension and relaxation due to statistically learned schemas.
