Abstract

Music is a powerful stimulus, and both active and receptive methods of engaging with music provide affordances for improving physical, mental and social health. The emergence of sophisticated computational methods also underscores the potential for novel music technologies to address a wider range of wellbeing outcomes. In this review, we focus on describing the current state of the literature on computational approaches to music generation for health and wellbeing and identifying possible future directions for research in this area.
