Welcome to the website for the Music, Brain, Health & Technology lab, located in the Health, Medical & Neuropsychology unit in the Institute for Psychology at Leiden University, led by Rebecca Schaefer. Our research interests focus on applications of music to health and well-being, from fundamental neural and psychological mechanisms to their practical implementation. Furthermore, an initial interest in music imagery has led to a broader research line on simulation and imagination, and their potential supportive role in other functions.

For more detailed description of our projects, see Research.
