Exploring the profound impact of music on brain waves
Music has been present throughout human history, spanning all cultures and epochs. The variation is breathtaking – everything from traditional Aboriginal music performed on clapsticks and didgeridoos, to Yo-Yo Ma’s sublime rendition of Bach’s Cello Suite, or Taylor Swift’s outstanding live performances in the Eras Tour.

After a while, you probably got up, stepped away from your desk and got yourself a coffee or popped to the bathroom.

Brain-based therapies for Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome is a tic disorder – a problem with the nervous system. Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people repeatedly do and which are hard to control.
Tourette Syndrome often begins between the ages of 2 and 21. Though it lasts throughout life, it is not degenerative (worsening).
