Examples
There are negative and positive versions of the feeling. If we truly feel we might die, we may feel deep chills that come with fear. Otherwise, the exhilaration you feel on a roller coaster can also ignite such a feeling. Finally, procreation produces the most identifiable feeling of orgasm.

Harmony Changes
The first characteristic that often elicits frission is sudden changes in harmony. Think, for instance, of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This is a song with many harmony changes that are sudden. Or, think “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” The transition from the verse to the chorus. When she says “Turn around bright eyes.” Are you getting tingles?

Dynamic Leaps
Dynamic leaps are basically moments when songs go from soft to loud. In the digital age of music, this is less common. In classical music, it’s far more common. But if you recall the transition from verse to chorus in “Bad Romance “ by Lady Gaga , you’ll hear a dynamic leap.

MRI
Researchers had subjects lay down in an MRI scanner while listening to their favorite songs. They were able to map out the parts of the brain that respond to music to cause frission, and better understood what aspects of music cause it.

Breaking Rules
We often react most to the way songs play with those rules. A song that follows them too closely is boring. If it breaks all the rules, it’s weird. But if it straddles the line, breaking the rules in flourishes or bursts, using interesting time signatures, and changes, then they can cause frission.

Brain Responses
Different rule interactions register in different parts of the brain. Rule violation is registered in the brain stem. It produces a racing heart and breathlessness and can signal frission.

Another major component is anticipation. If we anticipate the violation of a rule, or feel the resolution of that anticipation, a dopamine release is triggered in two key regions of the brain: the caudate and the nucleus accumbens.
