Prof. Ye Wang, from National University of Singapore, will give a seminar entitled "Sound, Music and Sensor Computing for Health and Wellbeing" on Monday, October 19, 2015, at 3:30 pm in room 55.410.

 

Abstract: The use of music as an aid in healing body and mind has received enormous attention over the last 20 years from a wide range of disciplines, including neuroscience, physical therapy, exercise science, and psychological medicine. We have attempted to transform insights gained from the scientific study of music and medicine into real-life applications that can be delivered widely, effectively, and accurately. We have been trying to use music in evidence-based and/or preventative medicine. In this talk, I will present some of our recent and ongoing projects which facilitate the delivery of established music-enhanced therapies, harnessing the synergy of sound and music computing (SMC), mobile/sensor computing, and cloud computing technologies to promote healthy lifestyles and to facilitate disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in both developed countries and resource-poor developing countries.
