Music therapy has advanced dramatically over the past decade, proving to
be an effective clinical tool for treating medical diagnoses. Music has been
effectively applied to treat Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke and others,
including autism, language acquisition problems, pain, stress and
anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, coma, and more.
This landmark multidisciplinary 1-day conference aims at:
Exploring the connection between up-to-date scientific findings
and their possible application to clinical music and physiological
function, including, not only neurocognitive mechanisms, but also other
physiological processes such a hormonal and metabolic responses, pain
control, motor functions, etc.
Fostering dialogue among experts studying music in human adaptive
function, physiological sciences, neuroscience, neurology, medical
research, psychology, music education, and others disciplines of disease
physiology, music physiology, and music therapy.
Promoting collaborative research, and a more effective
communication, and translation of scientific research into
music-based clinical treatments of disease.
