The Neurosciences and Music – V
Cognitive Stimulation and Rehabilitation
Intro
In partnership with
Université de Bourgogne, Dijon
Municipality of Dijon
Lyon Neuroscience Research Center
With cooperation from
EBRAMUS “Initial Training Network” funded by the 7th European Framework Marie Curie Action
NYAS – New York Academy of Sciences
The fifth international congress of neurosciences and music will take place in France, in Dijon and will focus on “Cognitive Stimulation and Rehabilitation”. It is conceived as a continuation of the previous meetings on the relation between Neurosciences and Music organized by the Mariani Foundation which dealt with “Mutual interactions and implications on developmental functions” (Venice, 2002), “From perception to performance” (Leipzig, 2005), “Disorder and plasticity” (Montreal 2008), “Learning and Memory” (Edinburgh, 2011).
Cognitive stimulation is a fascinating issue, which taps into a crucial aspect of the human brain: its neural and functional plasticity. Understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms that govern this plasticity is a key issue for human life and basic science, and has tremendous implications for society in terms of technology, education and healthcare. In healthy individuals, cognitive stimulation aims to boost cognitive and motor functions for specific purposes and to reduce the harmful effects of aging. In patient populations, cognitive stimulation is a non-pharmacological method to recover brain and motor functions after brain injury or delayed mental development. It opens new perspectives for therapeutic approaches designed to improve the well-being of patients suffering from various diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and stroke.
Music has several advantages for cognitive and brain stimulation. It is highly enjoyable and engaging, notably for patients, and it evidently taps into cognitive, emotional and motor processes that involve numerous brain areas. The congress will present the most striking research demonstrating the effects of music on brain and cognitive plasticity, cognitive development, language, communication and socialization, and the rehabilitation of motor and cognitive deficits in patients.
The program will include a Keynote Lecture, Pre-conference Workshops which will be held in the afternoon of May 29, thematic Symposia and Poster Sessions. A supplementary session on “The Power of Music” is open to the general public in the morning of May 29, organised in partnership with SACEM Université and France Musik.
The scientific meeting will be of interest for neuroscientists and psychologists, including students, and also to clinical neurologists, clinical psychologists, therapists, music performers and educators as well as musicologists. Dijon is home to the Université de Bourgogne and its LEAD-Laboratoire d’Etude de l’Apprentissage et du Développement, a cognitive psychology lab whose research activity focuses on changes in mechanisms of information processing during development. The LEAD also coordinated the European research program EBRAMUS (European BRAIn and MUSic) on “New perspectives for stimulating sensory and cognitive processes”.
Thanks to the partnership with the Municipality Dijon, special parallel activities in this historic town with possible extensions to the celebrated wine-making region of the “Côte d’Or” will complement the intense scientific program. As venue the delightful Grand Théâtre, with its authentic atmosphere, has been chosen, and the welcome event will be hosted in the magnificent Palais des Ducs, next to Jean-Philippe Rameau’s native house.
Music will remain present continuously during the congress, thanks to a Rameau concert (Airs & Symphonies) given by Le Concert d’Astrée (conductor E. Haïm) in the city Auditorium (May 30) to celebrate the special 250th anniversary of this great composer’s life. Informal musical sessions will be organized for the participants (May 31), and other musical events to be discovered as on-site surprises. The pedestrian areas surrounding the Theatre offer numerous cafés and bistrots appropriate for further brain storming sessions.
