Hi Michael, I agree that the use of music is very powerful on the brain. I have seen it evoke memories in a Pick's patient that were significant. They are very effective in dementia patients as well, bringing them to memories they have not been aware of and can associate with, where there is nothing else that they connected with. My mother could remember playing the piano and songs, when she could not remember me. Music is an interesting trigger in people, it is universal, but very cultural based. It lifts the spirit of most everyone. Art can be used in this way too. Just having a person mark different colors on a piece of paper and discuss the color and what they remember can be very powerful. I have worked with extremely crippled,
