Neuropsychological Profiles and Musical Engagement in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease
This observational study is mapping how people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease engage with music in daily life, compared to healthy older adults. Researchers will use neuropsychological tests and interviews to understand how memory, executive function, and emotional response to music differ across these groups. It is a Phase NA pilot study, meaning it is exploratory and designed to generate insights, not test a treatment.
