Week 8- Neurological Music Therapy Flashcards
PART 1
PART 1
“There is ___ other stimulus on earth that engages our brain as simultaneously, as globally, as music does.”
-NO
What is Neurological Music Therapy (NMT)?
“Therapeutic application of music to cognitive, sensory, and motor dysfunction due to disease of the human nervous system”
What concept does NMT use?
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS)
What is RAS?
- A technique developed upon using rhythmic cues to elicit purposed physiological responses.
- Elicits physiological effects of auditory rhythm on the motor system to improve the control of movement in patients with significant deficits due to neurological impairments.
What is our brain paying attention to when listening to music?
-Instead of paying attention to the beat, it pays attention to the space between each beat and taking a note of how much time is in between each beat.
Is the brain anticipating or reacting to the beat?
-Anticipating (anticipatory motor cueing)
PART 2
PART 2
What are the (4) Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy?
- Auditory System and Time Perception
- Principle of Entrainment
- Neural Entrainment
- Time-Based Movement Optimization
Auditory System and Time Perception:
- Auditory system has the ability to do what 2 things?
- Is it faster or slower than other systems?
- Rapidly construct stable temporal templates.
- Detect temporal patterns in auditory signals.
-WAY FASTER
Principle of Entrainment:
- Temporal ________ process in which one system’s motion or signal frequency entrains the frequency of another system.
- _______ oscillator locks the _______ into its frequency, or if equal in strength the systems move towards each other.
- locking
- stronger locks the weaker
Neural Entrainment:
- Auditory system has richly distributed fiber connections to motor centers in spinal cord, brainstem, subcortical and cortical regions.
- What are the (4) internal timekeepers?
- What are external timekeepers?
- What tract has many auditory pathways?
- ) Sensorimotor cortex, SMA
- ) Posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca’s)
- ) Cerebellum
- ) Basal Ganglia
- Incoming sound
- Reticulospinal tract
Time-Based Movement Optimization:
- Rhythm provides precise __________ time cues for the brain to plan ahead and be ready.
- Auditory stimulation primes the _______ system in a state of readiness to move. (increases response time and quality)
- Modulates patterns of muscle activation and control of movement in space.
- What is “patterned sensory enhancement”?
- anticipatory
- motor system
- Using musical patterns to create functional movement patterns and sequencing to enhance direction and accuracy of movement.
