Extensive research states how music and other arts can help stimulate the brain unlike almost any other source and can reinvigorate neural pathways that have gone stale from an extended period of disuse.
With this in mind, NeuroTune is a premier organization in researching about and using music and arts to help cure / alleviate the pain of Aphasia. Their goal is to use this novel approach to help energize patients’ brains and help them feel included in a friendly environment. Currently, they offer three main services:
- In-person treatment at hospitals & recovery centers for affected individuals who need Aphasia by helping patients use and learn various instruments and artistic design
- Virtual treatment using a personalized music-learning app and online meets
- Research opportunities for students and researchers in finding innovative ways to help eventually cure Aphasia
In order to help the most people possible, NeuroTune encourages students and organizations around the country to help volunteer and help patients using music! To further this mission, it is highly encouraged to sign up for potential partnering using the following form. For students, NeuroTune will provide volunteer hours and certification for helping the cause:
