We know that music can evoke and regulate emotions, but its capability to influence conscious thought is yet to be systematically explored. Although some mental phenomena such as music-evoked autobiographical memories have received much attention from researchers, very little is known about other types of internally-oriented cognition, such as mind-wandering and visual mental imagery. In this talk I will (1) illustrate the relevance of these types of cognition for musical context, (2) present novel findings showing a strong relationship with emotion, and (3) highlight relevant implications for mental health and well-being.
