Abstract

Recent research on music and brain function has suggested that the temporal pattern structure in music and rhythm can enhance cognitive functions.
To further elucidate this question specifically for memory, these are the primary goals of this talk:
Declare mysterious mechanisms of memory formation at first, and then, different kinds of memory (declarative and non-declarative) with special attention to “episodic memory” from neuroscience, physics, and literature point of view.
The last part returns back to how Art, preferably Music can augment and trigger different aspects of memory in MS patients.
