Congratulations to one of our undergraduate thesis students, Brandon Wild, for his poster presentation at the McMaster Undergraduate Student Researcher Awards! Brandon showcased his summer 2016 research project entitled "Combining Models of Music Theory and Perception".

DML is proud to introduce the Dance for Parkinson's project in collaboration with Hamilton City Ballet.

Dance for Parkinson's (D4P) is a technology-based dance system, developed for the Xbox Kinect, for people with Parkinson's Disease to use in the comfort of their own homes. This system utilizes the therapeutic effects of music and dance to alleviate symptoms of PD including motor dysfunction, depression, negative mood and anxiety, in an interactive game-like setting.

Using the D4P system, we plan to further investigate the long-term effects of music and dance for the palliative care of Parkinson's patients.
