Music has a number of positive physiological and psychological benefits. Over the centuries, the therapeutic benefits of music have been extensively studied in various settings. More recently, neuroimaging studies have helped us better understand the effect of music on the brain. The music of Ostad Elahi has gained tremendous attention in the West since its release to the public in the ‘90s as a unique and powerful music.

Ethnomusicologists, neuroscientists, and musicians have begun to explore the potential benefits of his music, and to discuss adapting therapeutic music programs based on unique musical repertoire like his. Music for the Mind is a superb example of a sound stimulation auditory training program that can help facilitate profound changes through the power of music and active listening.

Dr. Kamran Fallahpour, Director, The Brain Resource Center and Alex Doman, Founder & CEO, Advanced Brain Technologies will be lecturing on the intricate music of Ostad Elahi, a master musician and virtuoso of the tambour. The lecture will take you on a magical journey of the power of his music! Download flyer>
