Did the researchers pay attention to the valence of the memories evoked? If so, were songs associated with negative memories less likely to be rated as enjoyable?
I'm curious as to how such "music-based therapy" would be used for Alzheimer's patients. I understand that that "hub" is left unaffected in Alzheimer's patients, but I'm wondering how music can be used to better their overall condition.
Re music-based therapy: Do you know if it would be possible for an Alzheimer's patient to better remember, for example, a person who is associated with a piece of music? Can Alzheimer's patients learn by music association?
I'm really interested in the idea of the brain mapping tones in the brain. What kind of correlation did he find particular to the chords, keys, etc and the resulting activity of specific areas of the brain?
Is the music based therapy aimed at helping the patients remember older autobiographical memories or at helping them solidify events currently taking place in their lives?
My question is very similar to Bailey's, have there been any successful case studies where patients with Alzheimer's disease were able to remember recent events due to a certain playlist they had been listening to? If so was the song that helped trigger the memory a song that held some sort of significance in the patience life before they had Alzheimer's?
I wonder if you would get the same effects if the music played wasn't exactly the same. For example, if a singer is replaced by a different singer. I also wonder if you would get the same results to a voice, or if the sound has to be melodic.
