Music & Memory: Learning from People with Dementia

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:00:00 +0100

A Lecture by Dr. Lola Cuddy & Dr. Jacalyn Duffin
Featuring Performances by The Queen‚s Medical School Choir

Is musical memory spared over other memories in people with dementia? Lola Cuddy and Jacalyn Duffin have been testing that idea for eight years. They will describe how this prize-winning research began with curiosity about a single patient and grew into a large study involving more than fifty people with dementia and hundreds of controls. You will have a chance to test your own skills and, of course, sing along.

Location: At Etherington Auditorium, 94 Stuart St., Queen's University. // Live music & refreshments will follow at the Museum of Health Care, 32 George St.
Date & Time: Wednesday, November 2 at 7pm
Cost: Free admission
