Musicians and researchers: two creative professions striving to improve heart health through music.
Front Cardiovasc Med

Institute of Molecular Pathobiochemistry, Experimental Gene Therapy and Clinical Chemistry (IFMPEGKC), RWTH University Hospital Aachen, Aachen, Germany.
Musicians and researchers are creative professions that share many similarities. They both aim to bring joy and progress to humanity. In recent decades, it has been shown that music has the ability to alleviate pain, improve heart function, reduce anxiety, and stimulate the release of endogenous opioids in the brain.

January 2025
Mayo Clinic, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Oncology, Rochester, MN.
Purpose: Over 50% of households in the United States have at least one musician-many musicians are also breast cancer survivors. This group has not been well studied, and given the level of fine sensory-motor skill required for musicianship, we hypothesized that musicians experience unique manifestations of breast cancer treatment toxicities.
Methods: A nine-item Musical Toxicity Questionnaire (MTQ) was distributed to patients who had consented to participate in the Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Registry.
Surmounting the ceiling effect of motor expertise by novel sensory experience with a hand exoskeleton.

Sony Computer Science Laboratories Inc. (Sony CSL), Tokyo, Japan.
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we challenge this issue by exposing expert pianists to fast and complex finger movements that cannot be performed voluntarily, using a hand exoskeleton robot that can move individual fingers quickly and independently.

SAGE Open Med
January 2025
Emergency Medical Services of Zlin Region, Zlin, Czech Republic.
Objective: This pilot study aims to assess how individuals with rhythm perception, particularly musicians, are able to maintain the predefined chest compression rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared to people without rhythm perception.
Methods: The study was conducted at the Pilsen Emergency Medicine Conference (Czechia) using a simulation-based cohort design. Participants performed chest compressions on a manikin for 120 s, with the first 10 s guided by a metronome.
Exploiting passive behaviours for diverse musical playing using the parametric hand.

CREATE-Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland.
Creativity and style in music playing originates from constraints and imperfect interactions between instruments and players. Digital and robotic systems have so far been unable to capture this naturalistic playing. Whether as an additional tool for musicians, function restoration with prosthetics, or artificial intelligence-powered systems, the physical embodiment and interactions generated are critical for expression and connection with an audience.
