      Hi Em, Not so far…but I am working on it. I used pop/rock in my recent research, stuff that has a good beat, and that seemed to work, but again, it worked better when the people knew the song already. I would also like to investigate how music can be used to help people with Parkinson’s relax as many people suffer with anxiety and depression.
