As Associate Professor at Center for Music in the Brain, I do research on clinical applications of music and the use of music in everyday life for promoting health and well-being. I have a particular interest in sleep research and the use of music for alleviating insomnia. Using both behavioral and neuroimaging methods, I evaluate the effects of music interventions and the potential neurophysiological mechanisms underlying these effects.
I am in charge of the research on Clinical applications of music at Center for Music in the Brain. In addition, I supervise PhD, MA and BA students from various disciplines including medicine, cognitive science, psychology, computer science and musicology.
