A pianist and neurosurgery professor is experimenting to see if music can be prescribed for a surgeon and patient during and after an operation for better results.
Music in MedicineThe Texas Medical Center Orchestra will perform as part of a scientific experiment to capture live electrical brain waves displayed on a large screen for the audience to see and scientists to use. The ultimate goal? To see if music can be prescribed to improve the recovery of cancer patients.
Each participant will wear a scalp cap with 32 sensors to register the electrical brain waves responding to the music. It takes nearly an hour and half to properly adjust the caps which come from University of Houston’s neuro-engineering team, led by Jose L. Contreras-Vidal, Ph.D. Rui expects about a dozen concerts, each with a different performer and audience member paired to see if their brains are synced in their reactions to the music. Interested in volunteering? EmailThe larger question? Can music be prescribed for a surgeon and patient during an operation and afterwards to improve results. What kind of music used matters.
