Abstract:

 This study aims to present an innovative approach to the music composition process by applying mathematical principles. Five musical pieces were composed using mathematical techniques such as the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequences, and the potential applications of these techniques in the field of music therapy were examined. The compositions were played for healthy volunteers, and their neurological and emotional responses were measured using EEG tests. The results of these tests were systematically analyzed through brainwave measurements, allowing for the identification of new techniques and methods for potential use in music therapy. The findings highlight the therapeutic potential of music based on mathematical foundations and contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between music and mathematics. This study seeks to fill existing gaps in the literature by integrating mathematical methods into the music composition process and enhancing the effectiveness of music therapy.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, müzik besteleme sürecine matematiksel ilkeler uygulayarak yenilikçi bir yaklaşım sunmaktır. Beş müzik eseri, Altın Oran ve Fibonacci dizileri gibi matematiksel teknikler kullanılarak bestelenmiş ve bu tekniklerin müzik terapisi alanındaki potansiyel uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Besteler, sağlıklı gönüllülere dinletilmiş ve EEG testleri yoluyla nörolojik ve duygusal tepkileri ölçülmüştür. EEG test sonuçları, beyin dalgası ölçümleriyle sistematik olarak analiz edilmiş ve bu analizler, müzik terapisinde kullanılabilecek yeni teknikler ve yöntemlerin belirlenmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, matematiksel temellere dayalı müziklerin terapötik potansiyelini ortaya koymakta ve müzik ile matematik arasındaki ilişkiyi daha derinlemesine anlamamıza katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, mevcut literatürdeki boşlukları doldurmayı amaçlamakta olup, müzik besteleme sürecine matematiksel yöntemlerin entegrasyonuyla müzik terapisinin etkinliğini artırmayı hedeflemektedir.
