- Who is this post for? Everyone
- What does it discuss? A technology project for all that explores how music can benefit your mind and body
- How will you benefit? Better health, clearer focus, more thoughtful children…we could go on
The Sync Project is a initiative started and run by one of my old colleagues Marko Ahtisari. Marko and his team believe that if music can reach us physically, then we can find a way of decoding what music does, and we could then use it to improve health.
The project itself centres around a platform that maps music characteristics to real-time biometrics gathered from an exploding variety of sensors. The team hope to understand and decode the personalized therapeutic effect of music. Or in layman’s terms – they collect data from things like smartphones, wristbands and smartwatches to help us understand what happens to our brains and bodies when listening to music.

Right now, I advise doing what I’ve done and simply sign up to see what happens. Up to this point I’ve been getting e-mail updates but I’ll certainly be a willing volunteer (as would my wife and daughter) when the project scales up and starts to have its desired positive impact on all our lives.
