Abstract

Mental disorders have increased rapidly and have emerged as a serious social health issue in the recent decade. Undoubtedly, the timely treatment of mental disorders is crucial. Emotion regulation has been proven to be an effective method for treating mental disorders. Music therapy as one of the methods that can achieve emotional regulation has gained increasing attention in the field of mental disorder treatment. However, traditional music therapy methods still face some unresolved issues, such as the lack of real-time capability and the inability to form closed-loop systems. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), especially AI-generated content (AIGC), AI-based music therapy holds promise in addressing these issues. In this paper, an AIGC-based closed-loop music intervention system demonstration is proposed to regulate emotions for mental disorder treatment. This system demonstration consists of an emotion recognition model and a music generation model. The emotion recognition model can assess mental states, while the music generation model generates the corresponding emotional music for regulation. The system continuously performs recognition and regulation, thus forming a closed-loop process. In the experiment, we first conduct experiments on both the emotion recognition model and the music generation model to validate the accuracy of the recognition model and the music quality generated by the music generation models. In conclusion, we conducted comprehensive tests on the entire system to verify its feasibility and effectiveness.
