Research

PROMUS Lab research uses tools from affective neuroscience, including brain imaging, to understand why people engage with music and how they use music to regulate their mood states, experience of pain and other psychological and physiological symptoms.

Our research examines the links between:

  • music and lung health,
  • music and pain,
  • music and emotion,
  • music and Alzheimer’s disease and
  • the interaction of kidney and brain health with a body/mind/brain approach.
