Exploring the Harmony Between

The Music Cognition Laboratory is dedicated to advancing research in music cognition and neuromusicology, spanning from basic science to clinical applications. Our mission is to explore the intricate relationship between music and the brain, conducting research with both musically trained and untrained healthy participants, as well as individuals with various clinical conditions.
The lab focuses on both basic science and clinical research to explore the multifaceted role of music in the brain. Our basic science research investigates how music influences cognitive, emotional, and linguistic functions, while our clinical research examines the impact of music-based interventions on cognitive, emotional, and overall functional outcomes in individuals with neurological and psychiatric conditions. To uncover the neural correlates of music perception and cognition, we employ advanced methodologies such as neurocognitive evaluation, EEG/ERP, and fMRI.
Research in music and cognition, as well as neuromusicology, has been ongoing since April 2009 within the Department of Clinical Psychology. The Music Cognition Laboratory was formally established in June 2011, becoming the first of its kind in India to pioneer neuroscientific investigations into music perception, cognition, and their neural underpinnings.

"From a neuroscientific perspective, indulging in music is considered as one of the best cognitive exercises. With “plasticity” as its veritable nature, brain engages in producing music indulging an array of cognitive functions and the product, the music, in turn permits restoration and alters brain functions."
(Hegde, 2014)
