Why do we move to music: Rhythm and the brain
Dr. Jessica Grahn‘s major research focus has been understanding why we move to music, and her work has shown that the brain areas that control movement respond when we listen to musical rhythm, even if we are sitting still. By studying the neural mechanisms of how we ‘feel the beat’, she is developing ways to optimize our understanding of how patients with neurological movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, may benefit from musical interventions.
