In her talk, Dr. Kat Agres will speak about the affordances of music for healthcare and wellbeing, and share exciting new programmes and research projects at this intersection.

She will also reflect on the personal and professional activities that led her to embrace the field of music and health, and to found Southeast Asia's first Centre for Music and Health at YST Conservatory of Music, NUS.

Following the talk, a recent demo of her lab's music-based brain-computer-interface (BCI) will be shared with attendees. Volunteers will be invited to wear an electroencephalogram (EEG) device to control an affective music generation system. This system, known as AffectMachine, leverages music and neurofeedback to help listeners self-regulate their emotion states in real time.
