We employ techniques such as Electroencephalography (EEG), functional, structural, and diffusion-weighted neuroimaging (MRI), and psychometric measures to answer a wide variety of questions related to how music listening and playing interacts with and influences the brain throughout the lifespan.
Our lab is led by Dr. Assal Habibi, in collaboration with Dr. Antonio Damasio, Dr. Hanna Damasio, and Dr. Beatriz Ilari. We are part of the Brain & Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California, which houses the Dornsife Neuroimaging Center.
