Music is a powerfull neuroplastic stimulator. Our brains experience strong emotions when listening to music and re-organize when learning to read or play music. Does this effect change throughout the lifetime? May it be used for therapeutic purposes?
MusicPlast is a research project hosted by the laboratory of Medical Physics of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki...
MusicPlast has an open call for participants. Having completed the development of the web-based game...
So far, 10 elderlies and 15 young adults have been trained with MusicPlast and our preliminary results are very encouraging!
