      Matziorinis, Anna Maria; Flo, Birthe Kristin; Skouras, Stavros; Dahle, K.; Henriksen, Anne; Hausmann, Frøydis; Sudmann, Tobba Therkildsen; Gold, Christian; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background The Alzheimer’s and Music Therapy (ALMUTH) study is the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) design with 12 months of active non-pharmacological therapy (NPT) implementing music therapy (MT) and physical ...

    • Brain‑correlates of processing local dependencies within a statistical learning paradigm 

      Tsogli, Vera; Skouras, Stavros; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Statistical learning refers to the implicit mechanism of extracting regularities in our environment. Numerous studies have investigated the neural basis of statistical learning. However, how the brain responds to violations ...

      Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across the lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health and disease. Resting‐state ...

    • Is musical engagement enough to keep the brain young? 

      Matziorinis, Anna Maria; Gaser, Christian; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Music-making and engagement in music-related activities have shown procognitive benefits for healthy and pathological populations, suggesting reductions in brain aging. A previous brain aging study, using Brain Age Gap ...

    • The promise of music therapy for Alzheimer's disease: A review 

      Matziorinis, Anna Maria; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with cognitive decline. Memory problems are typically among the first signs of cognitive impairment in AD, and they worsen considerably as the ...

    • Sensorimotor synchronization to music reduces pain 

      Werner, Lucy Madeleine; Skouras, Stavros; Bechtold, Laura; Pallesen, Ståle; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-28)
      Pain-reducing effects of music listening are well-established, but the effects are small and their clinical relevance questionable. Recent theoretical advances, however, have proposed that synchronizing to music, such as ...

    • Study protocol for the Alzheimer and music therapy study: An RCT to compare the efficacy of music therapy and physical activity on brain plasticity, depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline, in a population with and at risk for Alzheimer's disease 

      Flo, Birthe Kristin; Matziorinis, Anna Maria; Skouras, Stavros; Sudmann, Tobba Therkildsen; Gold, Christian; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background There is anecdotal evidence for beneficial effects of music therapy in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, there is a lack of rigorous research investigating this issue. The aim of this study is to ...

    • Tormenting thoughts: The posterior cingulate sulcus of the default mode network regulates valence of thoughts and activity in the brain's pain network during music listening 

      Koelsch, Stefan; Andrews-Hanna, Jessica R.; Skouras, Stavros (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Many individuals spend a significant amount of their time “mind-wandering”. Mind-wandering often includes spontaneous, nonintentional thought, and a neural correlate of this kind of thought is the default mode network ...
