2 2  In the lecture, the potential effectiveness of music was discussed. Music cognition investigates human musical response and behavior and involves many different functional domains. Therefore, music has a great potential to activate and engage. Moreover, it was mentioned that music is used as a mood-modulator in non-clinical everyday settings. Music could arouse multisensory stimulation which has beneficial effects. Because of the great potential of music for social interaction, communication, or as a joint activity, it can also be used by Pepper to make our robot prototype more functional and powerful.

But we can customize it according to different activities and to the preferences of the different patients. As the music is customized for a specific person, it gives greater chances of success.

17 17  In the lecture, neural changes and cognitive changes in the brain of older people and people with dementia were discussed. The brain of older people suffers from both structural and functional changes, like cortical thinning/atrophy, decrease in cerebral blood flow, degradation of cells, etc. Things get worse for people with dementia. Therefore, we want to prevent the damage by some interventions. The goals are to prevent “excess disability”, promote functional improvement, and maintain QoL for both the patient and their family.

19 19  In the paper, Cognitive stimulation for dementia: A systematic review of the evidence of effectiveness from randomised controlled trials, researchers found that cognitive stimulation consistently improves cognitive function in people with dementia [3]. It also indicates that cognitive stimulation also benefits self-reported well-being and quality of life.
