ABSTRACT
A variety of fields, including music, psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, are naturally incorporated into music therapy. In this article, we will discuss the intersection of music therapy with physics and medicine, which are two of the realms that potentiate the effects of music interventions in supporting health.
The present research does not claim to be exhaustive but discusses the issues that underpin a significant body of research on pluralism and interdisciplinarity in music therapy. Thus, by discussing the connection between three domains (music, physics, and medicine), we propose a comprehensive perspective through which music therapy can become effective in the process of assessment, treatment and evaluation.
The goal of this study is to show how the effects of therapy can be quantified by explaining the way vibrational sound treatment, filtered music therapy, and the entrainment phenomena, and also the use of functional MRI scans, EEG recordings, diffusion tensor imaging, provide support in the process of music therapy.
