Efficacy and Neural Basis of Music-based Neurological Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of serious, life-long disability among adolescents and young adults. Especially the cognitive, emotional, and motors deficits caused by TBI often impair everyday psychosocial functioning, quality of life and ability to work. The purpose of the study is to determine the long-term effect of music-based rehabilitation on cognitive, motor, emotional, and social recovery after TBI in adolescents and young adults, and to study the neural mechanisms that underlie behavioural recovery and the efficacy of music.
