Music & the Mind with Synaptic Groove

Please join us for this unique presentation on the underrecognized benefits of music for epilepsy and its associated conditions.  This presentation, supported in part by the EPIC/Epilepsy Foundation Long Island, will feature a general review of epilepsy presented by neurologist Dr. Tanya Kapoor followed by a concert/lecture led by neurologist Dr. Alan Ettinger and his band Synaptic Groove. With an unusual combination of didactics and musical examples, Dr. E and Synaptic Groove will highlight the Mozart effect on seizure activity and demonstrate how music can address epilepsy-associated stress and anxiety, cognitive challenges, the stigma of epilepsy and associated disorders such as stroke or autism. All welcome.
