Also of great interest are the sessions focusing on the impact of music on education processes, and development, also in presence of neurological disorders, for example in the area of speech and language.
Furthermore, the topics and lectures dedicated to "music-therapy" which had been intentionally discussed only marginally at the meeting in Venice will be highlighted through the presentation of recent "practical" results, where these methods have been successfully applied for several years. The posters, sent to the Foundation, demonstrate the energy enforced towards a scientific validation of research currently in progress, also in this field. During the conference, in fact, a round table will be held on the measures of effectiveness of music-therapy treatment.
The program in Liepzig has been elaborated by the Organizing Committee comprising: Eckart Altenmller, University for Music and Drama, Hannover; Giuliano Avanzini, National Neurologic Institute "C. Besta", Milan; Angela D. Friederici and Stefan Koelsch, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig; Maria Majno, Fondazione Pierfranco e Luisa Mariani, Milan; Christo Pantev, Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis, Mnster University Hospital - and with the most valuable assistance of two Scientific Advisors of the highest authority: Isabelle Peretz, from the Department of Psychology of the University of Montreal, and Robert J. Zatorre, from the Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill University and with the support of the Scientific Secretariat of Luisa Lopez, from the Child Neurology Unit of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata".
