MMBB

Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and Brain studies music as a multimodal human experience and as a versatile engine of change, throughout the life span and in health and disease. Adopting a multidisciplinary empirical approach that combines cognitive musicology, psychology, education, therapy, computer science, and cognitive neuroscience, the research of MMBB merges both basic and applied research perspectives in a concerted effort to determine how the cognitive, emotional, embodied, and interactional experience of music and the brain mechanisms underlying it change over the course of human life and in different disorders, how music-based interventions can be optimized to enhance learning and emotional, cognitive, motor and social wellbeing in educational, everyday, and rehabilitation settings; and what individual, contextual, psychological, and neural mechanisms explain the efficacy of music.
