The participants listened to their choice of Indian Classical instrument or Indo Jazz music. Task 1 represents listening to music; Task 2 corresponds to listening to selected music and performing visual Go and No-go trials (task stimuli); and Task 3 represents performing the task in silence. The physiological response to the played music was estimated by measuring the pulse rate. The task performances were obtained by calculating the omission error and reaction time for Go trials, and commission error for No-go trials. The pulse rate was compared between all the tasks and the rest condition (silence). The task performances measured were compared between Task 2 (with music) and Task 3 (without music).The rating of participants before and after

The pulse rate was same for the baseline (before the beginning of the experiment) and the remaining rest periods (Rest 1, Rest 2 and Rest 3).

Figure 4 shows the variation in pulse rate for various tasks. The pulse rates were similar while listening to Jazz music alone (Task 1) and while performing task with Jazz music (Task 2). The pulse rates were significantly (p < 0.05) different and low while listening to Jazz music and performing the task (Task 2) as compared to the performing the task in silence (Task 3).

The pulse rate was significantly (p < 0.05) high while performing the task in silence as compared to Rest 3 state (Figure 4).

The commission error was calculated for the response of the participants for No-go stimuli. .The commission error for No-go trials while listening to Jazz music and performing the task was 0.66% and it was 3.56% when performing the task in silence. Moreover, the commission error for No-go trials while listening to Indian Classical instrument and performing the task was 0.44% and it was 2.3% when performing the task in silence. The result indicates that while performing the task in silence, the participant responded more to the No-go trials (Figure 7a and 7b).

This specifies that the failure to withhold the response to the incorrect answer was more while performing the task in silence as compared to performing the task while listening to Jazz music and an Indian Classical instrument. The task performance degraded while performing the task in silence when compared to music listening as shown in Figure 7a and7b.
Reaction Time (for Go trials)
The reaction time was calculated as soon as the participants pressed the key (button) when the visual Go trials (task stimuli) were presented to them. The reaction time indicates how fast the participants pressed the correct
