Music is an important part of daily life for many people, but how does it work in the brain? What can music teach us about aging and Alzheimer's disease? In this webinar, Dr. Sarah Faber will present recent findings from music and neuroscience research and discuss how these findings can teach us about how the brain ages.
Dr. Sarah Faber completed her PhD at the University of Toronto on the brain dynamics of music listening across the adult lifespan. Her interest in music in health care stems from her past work as a music therapist in long-term care and adult mental health. Music's profound and enduring connection throughout the lifespan inspires her research work. She is completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Simon Fraser University’s Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology, co-funded by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and Michael Smith Health Research BC.
