Dancing Through The Senses with Dr. Anusha Yasoda-Mohan

Our senses are one of the primary ways in which we encounter, interact with and make sense of the world around us. But what happens when our sensory perception begins to disintegrate and transform? And how might engaging through the arts help us heal and better understand these conditions?Our guest on the Dancing into Brain Health Podcast is Dr. Anusha Yasoda-Mohan, a perceptual neuroscientist whose work illuminates the ways our sensory perception influences our brain health and how using the arts may build pathways toward healing for those living with neurodegenerative conditions. We discuss the interconnection of our senses, specifically auditory perception, and brain health and ways Dr. Yasoda-Mohan is partnering with artists and communities to build awareness and inspire wellbeing among individuals living with dementia and sensory processing disorders.To learn more about Dr. Anusha Yasoda-Mohan here: https://www.gbhi.org/profiles/anusha-mohanand https://www.linkedin.com/in/anusha-yasoda-mohan-a397363a/Read more:The Longitudinal Relationship Between Tinnitus and Cognitive Decline https://www.gbhi.org/projects/longitudinal-relationship-between-tinnitus-and-cognitive-declineTinnitus – Can the Experience of a Phantom Sound be Expressed Through Creative Movement? https://www.gbhi.org/news-publications/tinnitus-can-experience-phantom-sound-be-expressed-through-creative-movementAuditory illusory models as proxies to investigate bottom-up and top-down neural networks of phantom perception https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40800848/Unveiling the mind's ear: Understanding the science behind auditory processing using illusions https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40020557/Namaste from India: “Reaching the Unreached” in Dementia and Brain Health https://www.gbhi.org/news-publications/namaste-india-reaching-unreached-dementia-and-brain-healthAdaptive and maladaptive neural compensatory consequences of sensory deprivation—From a phantom percept perspective ⁠https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301008216301605Chronic pain – A maladaptive compensation to unbalanced hierarchical predictive processing ⁠https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811924002052Facebook Group for Lewy Community Ireland https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AcWbfqs9e/?mibextid=wwXIfrLewy Body Dementia Association https://www.lbda.org/Lewy Body Ireland https://lewybodyireland.org/The Lewy Body Society https://www.lewybody.org/EMERALD-Lewy Research Program to Address Gaps in Diagnosis and Care ⁠https://www.gbhi.org/news-publications/emerald-lewy-research-program-address-gaps-diagnosis-and-care⁠World Lewy Body Day – Open Event hosted by EMERALD-Lewy at Trinity College Dublin https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mEtU02hDBqXyGa6JqtPdm4GkMQddX0T8/view?usp=sharing This episode of Dancing into Brain Health was edited and produced by Magda Kaczmarska and Hilary Brown-Istrefi.
