Join Interactive Metronome for a Free Webinar

Apr 2, 2020 at 12PM AKDT

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the Interactive Metronome (IM), an evidence-based and powerful patented rhythm intervention with broad clinical application that leverages technology to improve the brain’s efficiency and performance. Timing & rhythm are critical skills that reflect the degree of synchronization between neural networks in the brain and greatly influence the rehabilitation of cognitive, communicative, sensory, and motor skills. It is evident from peer-reviewed research that the perception and reproduction of timing & rhythm sequences is markedly deficient following acquired brain injury (Stroke, TBI, Concussion), in neuro-degenerative conditions (Parkinson’s, MS) and in certain psychiatric conditions like Schizophrenia. Observable symptoms of poor timing and rhythm include trouble with all levels of attention, executive functions, working memory, processing speed, expressive & receptive language, motor coordination, balance and gait. In recent years, research conducted at the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC), Harvard University School of Medicine, Northwestern University and others have provided vital information about both the clinical and biological impact of Interactive Metronome. There is no prerequisite to attend this introductory course.
