Music therapy utilizes numerous different techniques to treat emotional, psychological, and physical disorders. Brain Music Therapy (BMT), a relatively new treatment in the field, and consumers due to its unusual application of neurobiofeedback,which employs technology, brainwaves and piano music. BMT's very impressive cure rate has garnered scientific and media interest as well.
BMT is an evidence-based music therapy treatment used to relieve symptoms of insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression and attention deficit disorders. Recent cases of the therapy's successful use for the treatment of alcohol and drug dependence expands BMT's use as a therapeutic tool. BMT uses sophisticated technology and a complicated formula to translate an individual's brain waves into musical compositions.
BMT was the result of contributions from neurophysiologists, mathematicians and clinicians working under the direction of Dr. Iakov Levine, in 1991, at the Medical Academy in Moscow. Soon after the initial organization of the the therapy's principle structure, several other researches and scientists contributed additional resources to the evolving therapy.
Dr. Galina Mindlin, MD, PhD, a Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, was an early proponent of BMT, and is one of the first practitioners to apply the therapy in the United States. Dr. Mindlin explains that the musical compositions culled from brain waves and matching frequencies produce sounds that "resemble classical piano music."
In BMT, an individual's brainwaves are converted into musical notes using 36 notes from three piano octaves. The musical compositions are transferred onto compact disc or MP3 files. Patients listen to the recordings at prescribed intervals to induce changes in pathological brain patterns. As a form of biofeedback, BMT dislodges and re-patterns a patient's conditioned behavior through repetition and mindful practice.
Two compositions are created to represent an excited state and a relaxed state. The relaxing composition is 10 to 12 minutes in length, and is used to help patients rest and to decrease levels of anxiety. When used while sleeping, the composition improves quality of sleep. The active piano composition is significantly shorter at only 2 to 3 minutes. Patients use the shorter composition to become more alert and to elevate mood.
In the report, "Your Playlist Can Change Your Life," Dr. Mindlin explains that musical exposure not only increases peaceful or aroused emotional and psychological states, music even has an observable effect on pain, especially when combined with imagery chosen by a therapist along with the patient. Images that closely match the mood of the musical composition create reinforcement of new thought patterns and are an essential part of the therapy. Patients also keep detailed notes about milestones reached during therapy to increase BMT's effectiveness.
Recent studies published in the Journal of Neurotherapy substantiate earlier reports of the therapy's efficacy and scientists are now researching why the brain responds so efficiently and effectively to changes induced by the tones of piano music. BMT continues to remain on the cutting edge of musical therapy and is the subject of new scientific studies in populations of first responders with higher-than-average stress levels, such as policemen and firefighters.
