Music as Medicine
"We are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsonâs and Alzheimerâs, even strengthening our immune systems. Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. From explaining how ârhythmic auditory stimulationâ can fight multiple sclerosis, to examining why Tracy Chapmanâs songs might just help cure PTSD, Professor Daniel Levitin offers surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine. Along the way, he explores how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanityâs oldest obsession."
