Summary

This study from Yale University looks at how live music affects the brains and bodies of people with early Alzheimer's, dementia, or mild cognitive impairment, along with their caregivers. About 60 pairs (patient and caregiver) will listen to live and recorded music while wearing sensors to measure brain waves, heart rate, and facial expressions. The goal is to see if live music reduces anxiety and strengthens the bond between the patient and caregiver.
