Research Abstract

The aim of this study is to build an evidence of the music intervention, listening a favorite music, in order to improve the QOL of elderly people with dementia.
Because we aim to verify the effect of musical stimuli to the elderly people with dementia, we analyzed the change in their brain activation and autonomic nervous. Musical stimuli have selected a favorite music that they have held special memories. As a result of listening music stimuli, we found that the elderly person with dementia is activated a part of the frontal lobe .
