We are pleased to share our OpEd in Scientific American<\/strong> on How Music can Literally Heal the Heart<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/how-music-can-literally-heal-the-heart<\/a>, which asserts that music’s structural attributes and physiological effects make it an ideal tool for learning cardiology; studying heart-brain interactions; and dispensing neuro-cardiac therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article was developed from an exploratory seminar on Music and the Heart<\/a> at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University involving physicians, neuroscientists and musicians with a specific interest in music and its effects on human physiology. It represents the culmination of our collective experiences researching at the intersection of music, medicine, science and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful to Michael Lemonick for this beautifully presented essay. Embedded in the online article are four videos created for the Arrhythmia Alliance’s Heart Rhythm Congress<\/a><\/strong> taking place 3-6 October 2021. The first three videos feature arrhythmia music, including the latest Arrhythmia Suite piece; in the fourth video, Elaine Chew and Pier Lambiase have a conversation on the topic \u2013 Music: An underutilised tool in neurocardiology?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fine work by members of the Cosmos team contributed to demonstrations of CosmoNote<\/a><\/strong> and Heart.FM<\/a><\/strong> in the final video. Special thanks go to the developers Lawrence Fyfe (CosmoNote) and Charles Picasso (Heart.FM), and to Corentin Guichaoua and Daniel Bedoya for streamlining the computational music feature extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
