Music as Medicine: How To Harness Its Therapeutic Power
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]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.
Even slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and strengthening our immune systems.
On January 21, Daniel Levitin, neuroscientist and musician, returns to Intelligence Squared to discuss this bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. Drawing from his new book Music as Medicine he will explain how ‘rhythmic auditory stimulation’ can fight multiple sclerosis, examine why Tracy Chapman’s songs might just help cure PTSD and offer surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine.
He will also explore how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. Join us live at Smith Square Hall for an evening of live music, discussion and ask your questions in the audience Q&A.
