Researchers at USC Brain and Creativity Institute will explore the effects of intense music training on cognitive development in LA Phil's YOLA at HOLA program. The five-year research project will offer researchers an opportunity to provide new insights and add data about the role of early music engagement in learning and brain function. Read More
A new study suggests early musical training has a significant effect on the development of the brain. Practicing instruments before the age of seven boosts the normal maturation of connections between motor and sensory regions of the brain, researchers suggest. Read More
A new study is to investigate whether music affects the health of cancer patients by soothing them and making them less anxious. Depending on the outcomes, future research could hone in on how much anxiety levels decreased after music therapy and how reduced anxiety affects a patient's recovery time, complications and willingness to comply with treatment.

Researchers discover individuals can successfully try to get happy with the aid of upbeat, cheery music. Read More
According to new research, our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the melodies make us feel. Read More
Scientists turn EEG recordings of normal and seizure state brain activity into music. The work could lead to a new biofeedback tool to identify brain activity associated with seizures. Read More
A new neuroimaging study helps researchers map the different way the brain responds to poetry and prose. Read More
Researchers have developed a new way of processing signals in cochlear implants to help users hear music better. Read More
Researchers investigate how the brain responds to complex audio-visual stimuli. Read More
