Music As Medicine: Explore the complex relationship between music and health and the possibilities of healing through music. We will be looking at music and rhythm-based interventions in Parkinsons.

Music activates as many areas of the brain simultaneously as any human activity and thus can constitute a good form of brain exercise, especially if selected well and combined with other activities.
PRACTICAL SCIENCE: A NON-INVASIVE DEVICE FOR PARKINSON'S utilises pulsed cueing and focused vibrotactile stimulation to reduce symptoms of slowness and stiffness resulting in improved movement.
