The International Symposium on Embodied Cognition
Hosted by the Yale Center for Brain and Mind Health
represents an important milestone where science, art, and humanity come together to advance the understanding of brain health and aging.
This year, our Executive President, Freddy Ramírez, will be presenting in the panel:
Movement & Aging: Global Perspectives on Cognitive Vitality
He will be sharing research alongside Dr. Luke, presenting an innovative study that is helping reshape the way we understand the human brain.
We have demonstrated something powerful:
music and movement are not optional… they are a biological, emotional, and cognitive necessity.
We have confirmed something even deeper:
Latin music, rhythm, and dance have the power to activate memory, restore emotion, and transform the lives of patients living with Alzheimer’s and dementia in communities such as Hartford and New Haven.
What began as a vision is now supported by evidence, real impact, and living hope.
It is also an honor to share this space with the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, alongside Dr. Félix Cortés, Dr. Ana Gradakos of the Ibero-American Alzheimer’s Association, and more than 30 international leaders who are redefining the future of health, science, and humanity.
This is not just a symposium.
It is a global statement.
It is the recognition that movement is life.
That music is medicine.
And that science, when united with art, can expand what we once believed was possible.
We continue… with purpose, evidence, and impact.
