Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Many studies have investigated the effects of music on human activity and revealed the influences of music on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and respiration patterns. However, it is not clear what effect is induced by different individual musical parameters. In this study, we focused on one of the musical parameters, namely tempo, and investigated the effects of the relationship between acoustic tempo and respiratory rate on the ANS. The Participants listened to simple drum sounds. We varied the respiratory rate - acoustic tempo combination. We measured the heart rate and calculated heart rate variability as indices of ANS activity. We observed a significant increase in the mean heart rate only when we increased both the respiratory rate and the acoustic tempo.
