The research focus of this laboratory is music cognition and neuromusicology from basic science to clinical application. The aim is to carry out basic science research (on musically trained, untrained healthy participants and various clinical conditions) as well as clinical research examining the effects of music based intervention to other domains of functioning like cognition, language, emotion and overall functionality in various neurological and psychiatric conditions using neurocognitive evaluation, EEG/ERP, fMRI methods.
Research on music and cognition, neuromusicology is being carried out since April 2009 in the Department of Clinical Psychology. The Music Cognition Laboratory was formally inaugurated in June 2011. This is the first laboratory in India which aims at neuroscientific investigations of music perception and cognition and to study its neural correlates.
Faculty-in-Charge: Dr. Shantala Hegde
