Music is one of the exclusive cognitive abilities of human beings, however, there are animals that do react differently to music than when they hear other types of sounds. I remember a pair of parakeets my friend asked me to care for over a weekend while he went on a road trip, where when I played music the birds would bob their heads up and down to the rhythm. There have been studies on how animals react to music (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/70539/7-scientific-studies-about-how-animals-react-music). My interest in music cognition is from my research into emotions and their chemical signaling in the brain. Here's a video of how music changes the human brain.

There are computational models (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780123814609000080?via%3Dihub) of music cognition and even a CNN (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305119391_Explaining_Deep_Convolutional_Neural_Networks_on_Music_Classification) for music cognition. I also found a suite of tools for analyzing music that can be used by researchers (https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21j) of music cognition. There are also some interesting ideas and associations with music and natural phenomena like the Fibonacci series.

In all honesty I can't envision a socially intelligent AI that can't relate to music in some signaling capacity that represents grades of rewards.

Lol the alpha waves were hilarious. Its definitely a great tool for conveying emotional states. Or impressing what emotions are appropriate. Maybe it’s a form of artificial context, which can help an individual or a group with understanding the significance of a plan, or anecdote.

Here's a video of a Neanderthal instrument that dates back 110,000 years!
