Music Therapy

Music therapy, aiming to improve mental and physical health outcomes through musical interventions, is undergoing a period of rapid innovation. Current research focuses on personalizing music therapy using neurocomputational modeling and AI-driven tools, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, to create tailored therapeutic experiences and analyze session data. These advancements are exploring applications across various conditions, from anxiety disorders to melanoma treatment, and are enhancing the effectiveness and accessibility of music therapy by integrating technological advancements with traditional expressive arts therapies. The integration of AI and biometrics promises to refine treatment strategies and provide objective measures of therapeutic efficacy.
