Dr Anthony Mangiacotti: On the Musicare Project

In this episode, I am delighted to be joined by Dr Anthony Mangiacotti who is a Post-doctoral Researcher at the MCClab at Middlesex University. Being the co-director of the MusiCare Project, he generously gives us insight into their most remarkable work being done to Protect the Cognitive Functions and Well-being of the ageing population and infants. Tune in to learn more about their use of Music Therapy and Innovative Technology.

We would like to give a special thanks to the Dunhill Medical Trust who in collaboration with MHA care homes is sponsoring the Musicare Project.
