Music Listening after Acquired Brain Injury: Perspectives from lived experience
This study lead by Emma Sowden (Postgraduate Research Student, University of Glasgow), aims to explore how people with acquired brain injury currently use music. The findings will help improve understanding of the role of music listening after brain injury and may inform future research and clinical practice.
Research background and motivation
This study investigates how people with an acquired brain injury use music listening, and what they think about its effects on mood, cognition and wellbeing. By sharing your experiences, you can help improve understand of how music listening could be used in brain injury rehabilitation and recovery. Your contribution will help ensure that the perspectives of people with lived experience of acquired brain injury are central to future research and clinical practice.
