The skin comes out in goosebumps and tingles run up the spine. But how particular pieces of music can induce such rapturous effects in people has stumped researchers for centuries.<\/p>\n

With the passing of time comes new technology though, and suitably equipped with modern brain scanning equipment, scientists may now have made some headway.<\/p>\n
