MUZIKOTERAPIJA PONOVO "NA TAPETU". Konačno se neko setio da je u Srbiji muzikoterapija zdravstvena usluga placena od RFZO. Kada budemo u našim bolnicama bolnicama imali zaposlene profesionalne muzikoterapeute, onda će indikacije za primenu muzikoterapije biti jasne, kao i odabir muzikoterapijskog metoda kod određenih stanja. Dok čekamo Zakon o muzikoterapiji, oni koji, trenutno zloupotrebljavaju muzikoterapiju ostaju nesankcionisani, a pojedinci koriste priliku, da u predizbornoj godini, prave viceve sa zdravstvenom službom.

For parents who have spent time in NICU, the days can feel long, uncertain and overwhelming. Every moment of connection matters.

Miracle Babies Foundation gently captures the role a registered music therapist can play in neonatal care - supporting babies' neurodevelopment and helping parents to connect with their newborn.

"Medical procedures and the neonatal unit environment can be stressful for babies," Miracle Babies Foundation writes. "Music therapy may help reduce signs of pain, stabilise heart rate and improve oxygen saturation."

"Music therapy provides opportunities for parents to connect with their baby through voice, song and rhythm, which can strengthen bonding and reduce stress for both parent and baby."

Singing for breathing (SFB) programs can help people with chronic respiratory illnesses to live well. Well-established in other countries, we have not yet seen SFB programs implemented in Australia.

A practice article in the latest edition of the Australian Journal of Music Therapy offers insights into how SFB programs can be developed within the Australian context, including by incorporating an online element.

Congratulations to researchers Stefanie Zappino, Amy Pascoe, Catherine Buchan, Lena Ly, Jennifer Philip, Nicole Goh, Peter Hudson and Natasha Smallwood.

Some people feel a sudden shiver rise through their body when they hear a powerful song. This reaction is known as frisson, a real psychological and physiological response that occurs when music triggers an intense emotional surge. Scientists describe it as a “skin orgasm,” a deep sensory rush caused by your brain releasing dopamine, the chemical linked to pleasure, motivation, and reward.

Frisson usually happens during moments of emotional intensity in music. It could be a sudden beat drop, a dramatic vocal shift, or a beautiful melody that connects with your memories. Research shows that people who experience frisson often have brains wired with stronger emotional sensitivity. They also tend to score higher in the personality trait called openness to experience, which includes creativity, imagination, and a deep appreciation for art.

This reaction is not random. When your brain anticipates something powerful in a song and then the moment arrives unexpectedly, the reward system activates, sending chills across your skin. It is your brain responding to emotional beauty with physical signals.

Frisson proves how deeply music is tied to human psychology. It shows that a simple sound can unlock hidden memories, shift your mood, and create a physical experience in seconds. If music gives you goosebumps, your brain is working on a deeper emotional level than most people realize.

Moving to musical rhythm significantly improves gait and other motor functions compared to self-paced movement in neurorehabilitation.

Using brain network science, a recent collaborative study between researchers at the University of Toronto Music and Health Research Collaboratory (MaHRC) and Wake Forest University sheds new light on why this occurs:

✨ Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS)® optimizes how neurons talk to each other and harnesses them into a more closely connected and well synchronized brain network in the Basal Ganglia, a critical region for rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease. Stable, tightly coupled, and efficient neural connections are necessary engines to improve timing, consistency, and spatial control of movement. This evidence of strong plasticity in connectivity in neural networks is key in understanding why music/rhythm based Neurologic Music Therapy® interventions are powerful neuromodulatory tools.
