NFB & Chill: Can Music Shield Your Brain from Dementia?( plus EEG Biomarker Secrets)

Can music habits protect your brain? And can EEG brainwaves help spot dementia early? We break down new research (listening vs playing), EEG biomarkers (AD vs FTD vs LBD), and where neurofeedback fits. 👉 Book a free consult call: https://calendly.com/drhill1 In this video we unpack two fresh threads in aging research— 1. how music engagement (listening & playing) relates to lower dementia risk, and 2. the EEG brainwave “fingerprints” that may help distinguish dementia types earlier (Alzheimer’s vs FTD vs Lewy body). We’ll decode the science without the jargon, show how these findings fit into brain health & neurofeedback, and take your live questions. Expect practical takeaways, a little myth-busting, and a fun “scientist-with-secrets” vibe. What we’ll cover • The new music–dementia findings: listening vs playing—what looks most protective and why. • How music may build cognitive reserve (multi-network activation, attention/emotion/memory effects). • EEG 101 for dementia: alpha slowing, posterior rhythms, connectivity, and what emerging AI models are finding. • Where neurofeedback or PBM fits (and where it doesn’t): possibilities, limits, and next steps. • Live Q&A Who this is for: curious minds, caregivers, clinicians-in-training, brain hackers, and anyone who loves the idea that playlists and brainwaves might actually tell us something helpful. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This stream is for education and is not medical advice.
