This five-week series, offered by Dr. Brad Schultz in partnership with the Belvedere-Tiburon Public Library, explores the cognitive and physiological impacts of music on aging, drawing from multiple disciplines and requiring no prior musical background.
In recent years, interest has greatly expanded to account for music's cognitive connections, or the way music can alter our body composition for the better.
To say that the implications for this research on healthy aging are significant is an understatement.
This course discusses the relationship between music and our cognitive processes as we age, drawing on elements from physics, neuroscience, psychology, as well as examples from history.
The course meets on Mondays, 11-noon from September 23 to October 21 at the Founder's Room at the Belvedere-Tiburon Library. Registration is free, but necessary to secure a spot.
