ABC Catalyst, March 9, 2016 - Music On The Brain

This was a very moving episode which revealed "how personalised playlists can re-awaken the brains of people with dementia".

A woman with dementia was able to conduct a perfectly intelligible and intelligent conversation after listening to her favourite music. A man with Parkinsons Disease who shuffled and stumbled uncontrollably when he walked was able to dance faultlessly with a partner while listening to the music.

Truly amazing.

Music is food for the soul - and while we are breathing our soul is listening!
