Clinical Aspects of Music, Sound and Acoustics in Context of Neuro-Pyscho, Neuro-Physio and Neuro-Acoustic Mechanism
This guest lecture, provided attendees with a comprehensive survey of how musical sound and acoustic features engage neural circuits across psychoacognitive, physiological, and neural-acoustic domains and how these insights translate into clinical practice. The talk integrated the neuro-psychoacoustics of perception, emotion, and cognition with the neuro-physiology of brain networks involved in music (including the auditory cortex, STG, premotor and prefrontal regions, basal ganglia, and cerebellum) and the principles of neuro-acoustics such as encoding and neural entrainment to spectral content, rhythm, and tempo. It highlighted clinical applications across conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, autism, tinnitus, and cochlear implant users, emphasizing how rhythmic cueing, mood modulation, and music-based rehabilitation leverage neural plasticity and dopaminergic and limbic pathways. The session also covered assessment methods—from psychoacoustic tests to EEG/MEG, fMRI, and TMS—and discussed how these tools inform the design and evaluation of interventions. Aimed at graduate students, clinicians, and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, audiology, music therapy, and rehabilitation, the talk concluded with implications for practice, opportunities for personalized interventions, and directions for future research. The format included a 60–90 minute presentation with a slide deck and interactive elements such as quick polls or prompts, followed by a brief Q&A and optional handouts and a suggested reading list.

Neuro Acoustic Methodologies for Diagnosis and Treatment of Various Neuro-psychiatric Disorders at Early Stage
Neuro Acoustic Methodologies for Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders at Early Stage offers a concise, evidence-based look at how non-invasive acoustic approaches can aid early detection and intervention. By integrating brain-wave analysis, Neuro Acoustic Loop Spectrum (NALs), and biochemical markers, the workshop highlights diagnostic potential, treatment prospects, and translational pathways to clinical practice. Attendees explore design considerations for pilot studies, ethical and governance aspects, and practical workflows from EEG/NALs data to patient care. The session emphasizes collaboration across researchers and clinicians to establish standard protocols, validate biomarkers, and accelerate clinically viable neuroacoustic therapies.

Online Workshop on My Role in Mental Health as a Therapist.
This session reinforced ethical, evidence-based online therapy practices for practicing therapists, counselors, and psychologists. Participants explored teletherapy competencies—rapport-building, confidentiality, informed consent, and risk assessment—alongside privacy, data security, and culturally responsive care. The workshop covered adapting modalities (e.g., CBT, ACT, supportive therapy) to virtual platforms, strategies to enhance client engagement, and criteria for referrals when appropriate. Emphasis was placed on therapist self-care, supervision needs, and sustainable online practice. Attendees left with a practical toolkit, action steps for implementing remote assessment and intervention, and a roadmap for ongoing professional development in digital mental health.
