Meditation and Music Aid Memory in Early Stages of Alzheimer’s
A
new study from West Virginia University, in
Morgantown, reveals that listening to music and prac- ticing meditation may help improve memory function for those in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers asked 60
adults experiencing subjective cognitive decline (SCD), a common predictor of Alz- heimer’s, to engage in kirtan
kriya musical meditation or listen to other music for 12 minutes a day for three months, and then consider continuing for an additional three months. Scientists measured the memory and cognitive function of the 53 participants that completed the six-month study and found significant improvements in both measurements at the three-month mark. At six months, the subjects in both groups had maintained or improved upon their initial results.
