well, they had exclusion criteria so naturally, the sampling ended up biased
and I suspect that the investigators were the ones who chose the genre and the participants came up with instrumental music that they know or are familiar with...i.e. the selection has more pop classics than some heavy weird ones...and Vicious Delicious' Infected Mushroom really gave me the chills (the band name, album cover and the music)....
Though they wrote "There were no restrictions to the genre of music that could be provided. This was done to increase the ecological validity of our findings and to ensure that any observed effects were not due to a specific genre of music. We obtained music from various genres, including classical, folk, jazz, electronica, rock, punk, techno, and tango ".
Anyway if the participants are from a classical music subculture, it's biased surely
. And that strange band, I guess it's gebirgsz's favourite band... 
but the recruitment was thru ads (not an active one) and I don't think that only the classical music listeners would respond (or perhaps we have better musical taste here in Montreal....
)...and more like Ila's music I think...and I like it too.......I found it strange, and won't hear it voluntarily or for pleasure...
(though I heard a different version, the track from above is not allowed here)I guess then they're students, and as they knew that the professor (they're later supervised and examined by him) is a classic music fan, most chose a classic track, to avoid shocking the professor. Very bad for the results of course...
students? unless they're from the conservatoire of music, I doubt that their preferred tracks would be classical music...and which professors were they impressing with their musical selections? This study was done I think mainly at the neurological institute...
...Yes I think the same (students rarely hear this stuff), an indication that they pretended to like classical stuff as the PI of the study (a professor) is their supervisor and examiner (and loves classic stuff)...if they'd have chosen their real favourite music (e.g. country), the PI would have had biased against them later to be rednecks...

ppfftt...your weird speculations!!! Do you think the neuro PI would care what music they listen to...besides, everything would be confidential...they'd all be just numbers....

This is another selected musical piece....not so bad (if one would even call it music )

well, it's too bad that having good taste in music is not heritable....

"De gustibus non est disputandum". Well psychedelic and progressive rock music is much better than much of this classic easy listening stuff, the commercial pop music of the 18th & 19th century (though there are exceptions of course)

well, "De gustibus non est disputandum" is also applicable to the drug of choice...they were probably all stoned out of their minds- the composers and listeners (doesn't matter from which century)...

Perhaps the classical era had the disadvantage that LSD wasn't discovered (or invented?) in their time...

but they have extracts from psychoactive plants at that time - belladonna, mandrake, salvia....and wasn't absinthe popular even before the 19th century?

and different fungi, marijuana, opium and cough mixture with cocaine...but non of them is a similar powerful hallucinogen as LSD...
