Professor of Music Carlene Brown is currently on a University of Washington/National Institutes of Health sponsored research team through the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. The research project, titled "Music-based treatments and pain: Underlying mechanisms," is studying the influence of music on pain management.
Professor Brown was invited to speak at the 2023 Sound Health Initiative workshop on "Music as Medicine: The Science and Clinical Practice," co-organized and co-sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, National Endowment for the Arts, Renée Fleming Foundation, and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The workshop, co-chaired by Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH director, and Renée Fleming, the renowned American soprano, took place December 14–15, 2023, in Maryland. Musicians, scientists, physicians, educators, and other stakeholders in the field presented scientific research on music and health, supporting a network for further building the research community.
