Reflections Guest: Professor Sarah Wilson

Fortunately she was able to combine her two passions, pioneering music neuroscience research in Australia, showing how music can enhance brain function in healthy individuals and facilitate recovery after brain injury. Professor Wilson is the head of the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences and Director of Music, Mind and Wellbeing at the University of Melbourne.
