The sound of science: Music, mental health and social impact
Music influences how we feel, how we connect, and how we cope. Across disciplines, it is increasingly recognised as a tool for mental health, emotional regulation and social inclusion. But how does this work in practice, and what does science tell us about the impact of sound on the brain?
Bringing together researchers, therapists and practitioners working across neuroscience, music therapy and community settings, we look at how music is used in trauma recovery, youth work and with vulnerable groups, and what makes these approaches effective in real-world contexts. You will hear how music is being translated into accessible applications and how new approaches are helping extend reach and impact, supporting care, resilience, and social change.
