Patricia Caicedo, M.D., Ph.D. seeks to combine her training as a physician, musician, and musicologist in innovative and creative ways. In order to unlock the relationship between music and health, and the impact of music on mental and physical health, Dr. Caicedo has recently published her latest book We are what we listen to, the impact of music on individual and social health.
This book expands upon the cognitive mechanisms of perception of music, the relationship between rhythm, movement, and health, the brain mechanisms that link music, pleasure, and emotion, and the many ways in which music improves our quality of life, leads to wellness, happiness and provides us a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
