Review of fundamental mechanisms 

About the Course

Why is music uniquely capable of restoring functional neural network connectivity in the brain? Why does a metronome help someone relearn to walk after a stroke? How can sonification support the development, retraining, and adaptation of non-musical functions? Can music in rehabilitation lead to more repetitions, greater engagement, and higher compliance with home exercise programs? This course dives into the neurobiological foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy® (NMT®), unpacking how the fundamental mechanisms underlying applied music neuroscience work and apply to everyday clinical practice.
