"This year's conference theme is 'Music and Medicine: Composing the Science of Healing,'" says Dr. Angela LaSalle, the co-founder and Chairman of the Board for ARIMM. "We have organized an innovative conference designed to promote conversation among the Science and Music disciplines. Starting with a review of quantum physics and moving through the latest trends in medicine and music therapy, we will be building a bridge to show how attention to the relationship of the body's response to music can lead us to the next wave of medical therapies. Attendees can participate in panel discussions, network with our speakers, and hear the latest research on how music can impact inflammation, chronic disease and learn new treatment strategies."
"The goal of this conference is to gather knowledge from all disciplines and build the research tools we need to find innovative solutions to today's health issues. All disciplines and levels of study are welcome. Whether you are a scientist, clinician, technician, performer, student, or just love music, we invite you to participate in our forum of presentations, panel discussions and brainstorming sessions. We seek research ideas that explore the healing effects of sound and music. We hope to find the scientific basis for the effect that music can have on the disease process," says Dr. LaSalle.
The ARIMM 2008 Conference is co-sponsored and hosted by the IPFW Department of Music. The 2006 and 2007 conferences were held at the University of Arizona.
