Nada Congratulates
Prof. Jorg Fachner! |

| How does music therapy work? His Brain study sheds light! |
|

|
Music therapy works, but no one is really sure how. Now, a novel
type of brain scan may provide key insight. Using GIM as their
focus, a team led by two experts from Anglia Ruskin University, in
the United Kingdom - Prof. Jorg Fachner and Clemens Maidhof,
Ph.D. - set out to find the answer. Their findings appear in the
journal Frontiers in Psychology
|
| In the current study, the researchers used hyperscanning - a procedure
that can simultaneously record two people's brain activities - to study a
music therapist's session with a client. The method, says lead author
Prof. Fachner, "can show the tiny, otherwise imperceptible, changes that
take place during therapy." |
|
When the client's brain switched from negative emotions to positive
ones, their EEG recording clearly showcased this. A few moments later,
the therapist's brain showed the exact same pattern.Both the therapist
and client later identified this moment as a point when they felt that the
session was working. Not only were their thoughts in sync, but their brain
activity, too.The researchers also noted increased activity in both
participants' visual cortexes during these moments of change.

Prof. Jorg Fachner - the lead researcher - was a friend of Nada - who visited Chennai
to attend Nada's First International Conference held in the year 2006. He can be seen
in the photo - being welcomed by Dr T. V. Sairam in the First International
Conference held in Chennai in 2006. The Team Nada congratulates him and his team
