This project was developed in a team to visualize research findings from “The Emotional Geography of National Anthems” (Scientific Reports, 2025). It presents the predicted emotional characteristics of 176 national anthems worldwide through an interactive world map.
The application focuses on making music emotion analysis accessible through visual storytelling, allowing users to explore how sound and culture express emotional patterns across countries.
Did you know? Emotions in music can be modeled using machine learning, but without visualization these patterns remain hidden. Interactive maps help transform abstract emotional data into meaningful cultural insights.
