Thanks for your reply, Helen - the line-up for your Conference on the Healing Power of Sound sounds great!
Yes - Dr Krause is a long-time friend and colleague - FYI his bio is posted on our Institute's website -
http://www.brainmusic.orgBoardPageBoard.html. He is a fabulous speaker, has a recent NY Times best-seller,
"The Great Animal Orchestra", and, perhaps most importantly, adds a key yet often-overlooked dimension to
biomedical research with music - the world of natural sounds. We have sought funding together for
randomized-controlled clinical trials utilizing sound recordings of both music and natural sounds.
Re: speakers and healers - Our UCLA colleague Dr Raffi Tachdjian has a special interest in the use of music in
Autism therapies. Ping is best-versed with (and has painted much of) the landscape of music and arts therapy in
LA, so she would be a helpful resource. Like Bernie and I, Ping is interested in advancing clinical trials that
incorporate rigorous designs typical of R&D in the Biomedical Technology and Pharmaceutical worlds.
If you are inviting out-of-town speakers, there are several colleagues and friends I could recommend.
Cheers,
Mark

Yes- many thanks-, Mark-acknowledged- we are targeting April 7-8, 2018 at this point.
I received an email from Bernie Krause and talking to him about his pretty important work. I am also getting into
virtual reality brain research where some of it could be applicable.
Several speakers from USC have agreed to participate as well (Murali Nair, Assal Habibi and a couple more)-
Ping Ho and Ronald Borzcon will probably also participate.

so it is shaping up to be a very interesting event covering broadly neuroscience and social science of music/sound
healing.
I was thinking also of inviting sound healers for brief experiential sessions.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
Will be consolidating schedule shortly.
Thanks, Helen

Dear Dr Lavretsky,
Thank you for your invitation. Yes, I would be delighted to participate. Please see the attached PDFs. I could
give a talk that incorporates either or both. Some additional relevant information is available at
http:fwww.BrainMusic.org and in my attached curriculum vitae (publications section).
Best,
Mark

I am an integrative medicine researcher and a psychiatrist at UCLA and am organizing an annual conference
on the Healing power of Sound in April of 2018 tentatively April 7-8, 2018 .
( former conferences were focused on review of integrative medicine and mental health, and healing power
of breath)- https://www.semel.ucla.edu/integrativementalhealth
I would love to invite your participation. Could you present on the topic relevant to science of music
therapy/sound healing?
Thanks, Helen Lavretsky
