The Upstate Elder Abuse Center (UpEAC) at Lifespan is offering a FREE webinar featuring Dr. David Silbersweig from Harvard; How Music Resonates in the Brain. Back in 2020, UpEAC’s Scams & Fraud Program began offering a Name that Scam! educational program. Our colleagues at Wise & Healthy Aging in California (Miles McNeely – thank you!) did research and developed the program. For more about Wise & Healthy Aging, here is their site: https://www.wiseandhealthyaging.org/. Based off of that program, our team at UpEAC created several different playlists, including seasonal offerings, linking common scams to popular tunes. This fun and interactive game is not only entertaining – but also is based in research.

Our brains are quite amazing, and one thing that resonates across time & culture is music. Music has the power to evoke emotions, to provide us with a cathartic release, create the right mood for a movie, TV show, or the theater. Music connects us in super cool ways.

I’m thrilled to offer this webinar to you all, and would love for you to join Dr. Silbersweig and the folks here at UpEAC for this event. More information about the topic is here: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/12/harvard-scientist-on-why-that-song-is-stuck-in-your-head/.
