🌟 Have you ever seen a scientific experiment at a music festival? 🌟 This is exactly what we did at the Lithuanian Song Celebration! 🇱🇹🎶 In collaboration with Neurosteer and Indre Viskontas, we, Talya Zeimer and I, set up a tent in the heart of the festival’s beautiful park, and conducted mobile EEG brain examinations on 160 participants. Each underwent a 20-minute experiment, with musical tests designed to either challenge or relax frontal brain regions’ functionality. Our goal? To analyze their response to music, and explore correlations between age and engagement. As neurodegenerative disease cases rise, understanding the impact of music on brain function, especially in older adults, is crucial. Music engagement, particularly in social settings, may enhance frontal lobe function, which is critical for executive function and emotional regulation, while reducing stress. This 100th anniversary festival provided a unique and vibrant backdrop for our groundbreaking study. Thank you Dr. Ramunė Dirvanskienė for the invitation to this unique opportunity. Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and music! 🎵🧠 #Neuroscience #MusicFestival #LithuanianSongFestival #MentalHealth #Neurosteer #EEG #BrainHealth #ScientificResearch
