Seminar H: Music in the brain. Fordybelsesseminar på Health (Sundhedsvidenskab)

Workshop 1: Why do we feel pain? v/Anna Zamorano, Institut for Klinisk Medicin - Center for Music in the Brain, Aarhus Universitet
This talk will describe the basics of pain, the science behind pain perception, and how musical training can change this process.

Workshop 2: Fireworks in the brain v/Alexandre Celma-Miralles, Institut for Klinisk Medicin - Center for Music in the Brain, Aarhus Universitet
Neurons communicate with each other through electrical impulses to codify information. When thousands of these impulses occur, different rhythms are generated. Electroencephalography (EEG) allows to record the “echos” of these electrical responses safely on the head, by attaching electrodes on the scalp. With this method, researchers can study how the neuronal populations respond or synchronize to external events (like the rhythms of music) and can develop technology to mentally control computers and devices (known as Brain-Computer Interface). 
Come and try a portable EEG headset to move a cube on the screen just using your brain!

Workshop 3: The pleasurable urge to move to music and its clinical applications v/Victor Pando-Naude, Institut for Klinisk Medicin - Center for Music in the Brain, Aarhus Universitet
Why and how does music makes us want to move our body? The pleasurable urge to move to music (PLUMM) depends on musical features such as rhythmic and harmonic complexity. This 'groove' effect may be used to improve the symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease?
 

I skal deltage i 2 ud af de 3 forskellige workshops, og I vil modtage mail med et link, hvorpå I kan tilkendegive, hvilke 2 workshops I helst vil deltage i. Hvis I ikke tilkendegiver noget, er vi trygge ved, at I glæder jer til at deltage i de 2 workshops, vi sætter jer i:-).
