Course Overview
This unique symposium will focus on the relationship between music and the
physiological and pathological processes in the nervous system.
It is aimed
at educating physicians and musicians about this novel and unique field of “neuromusic” which studies the effect of music on the normal and abnormal
physiology of the nervous system, treats certain neurological conditions using
music as a therapeutic tool and treats the neurological consequences of
misuse of music. It also aims at educating physicians and musicians about
the status of the research in the field of music and the brain.
Last but not
least, it puts a particular emphasis on the impact of musical performance on the
audience, and explores its parallel with the physician’s impact on the patient.
