Music and Emotions

We are looking for healthy volunteers from a wide age range with a wide range of music preferences who are willing to participate in a study to measure the emotional responses to short musical excerpts.

Aphasia Recovery

If you had a stroke and, as a result, no longer able to speak, you may qualify to receive "Melodic Intonation Therapy", a technique that has been recognized by the American Academy of Neurology as an effective method for helping stroke victims recover their language ability.

Motor Stroke Recovery

We are seeing stroke patients with incomplete recovery to study the mechanisms and effects of non-invasive and non-harmful brain stimulation on stroke recovery using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS). Tests will include brain imaging and various behavioral motor tests.

Effects of Electrical Brain Stimulation on Motor Performance, Sensory Perception, and Multimodal Cognition

We are looking for healthy volunteers who are willing to participate in exciting new studies examining the effects of non-invasive and non-harmful electrical brain stimulation excerpts on mtor performance, sensory perception, and multimodal cognition.

Longitudinal Music Study

Funded by the National Science Foundation, researchers at Harvard Medical School, Boston College, and New England Conservatory are studying the effects of music, sports, and foreign language learning on children's brain growth and cognitive development.

Singing & Speaking

Healthy Volunteers needed for a research study to explore the neural organization of singing and speaking using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

Professional Musicians

Based on our previous work studying the brains of professional musicians, we are currently conducting studies at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s Music & Neuroimaging Laboratory to further examine the effects of long-term instrumental music training on the brain.

Absolute Pitch

We are recruiting healthy volunteers who have perfect/absolute pitch to participate in an brain neuroimaging study.

Amusia

Are you tone deaf? Can't sing a single note in tune? Can't remember or recognize melodies that are familiar to other people? Suffer from an inability to sing or dance, although you had musical lessons during your childhood? Have no hearing impairments? Then we need you!
