🎤 Meet our speaker: Teppo Särkämö, Professor of Neuropsychology

Teppo Särkämö is a Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Helsinki, a Senior Research Fellow at the Cognitive Brain Research Unit (CBRU), and Vice‑Director of the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and Brain (MMBB).

His research focuses on the clinical and cognitive neuroscience of music, especially exploring the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying the impairment and preservation of music cognition in ageing and ageing-related neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, aphasia, dementia) and determining the efficacy and mechanisms of music-based rehabilitation in these clinical populations as well as in healthy aging.

We’re delighted to have him share his expertise on efficacy and neural mechanisms of music in ageing-related neurological disorders. ✨

🎤 Meet our speaker:

Ville Sivonen holds an MSc in electrical engineering from the University of Oulu, Finland and a PhD in acoustics from Aalborg University, Denmark. He is a Clinical Engineer at the Hearing Center of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Helsinki University Hospital.

His research focuses on hearing loss and its rehabilitation with cochlear implants and middle-ear prostheses, with particular emphasis on intra- and postoperative objective measures, and the assessment of hearing outcomes in noisy and complex acoustic environments. He teaches technical audiology and has advised bachelor’s and master’s theses and co-supervised PhD students in the field.

His and Saku Sinkkonen's topic is Intraoperative Electrical Measurements – A Dialogue Between the Surgeon and an Engineer.

This is Helsinki calling!

Did you know the capital of Finland has more than 300 islands?

A big part of Helsinki’s area lies on islands in the Baltic Sea. This makes the city surprisingly maritime and nature-oriented — perfect for island hopping and enjoying a picnic at places like Suomenlinna or other nearby islands.

The congress planning is well underway and we are looking forward to meeting you all in Musiikkitalo next year! ...
