Systematic and Meta-analyses Reviews (PRISMA). Results:The results show that music can generate and modify changes in the emotional state of listeners, in addition to modifying cognitive performance in recognition tasks and executive performance. However, the neuropsychological foundations and characteristics that would determine these modifications are diverse and inconclusive. Conclusions: It is necessary to carry out studies that, through a rigorous methodology, allow to establish consistent conclusions on the human characteristics that sustain the capacity of music in the generation or modification of the emotional state.
