"MCL's research centers on music cognition and neuromusicology, spanning basic science to clinical application. Their investigations encompass musically trained and untrained individuals across various clinical conditions. Clinical research delves into the impact of music-based interventions on cognition, language, emotion, and overall functionality in neurological and psychiatric conditions. Neurocognitive evaluation, EEG/ERP, and fMRI methods are utilized.
