There is no institution in the world conducting integrated neuroscience, clinical, education, and
technology research programs that are devoted to establishing:
• Neuroanatomical, Neurochemical, Neurophysiological, Neuroethological, and Genetic bases of
humans innate, universal competence for music.
• The benefits of music and other forms of controlled auditory stimulation in the treatment of:
Surgical Pain, Cancer Pain, Chronic Pain Syndrome, and other types of pain
Hypertension, Arrhythmias after Heart Surgery, and other autonomic problems
Parkinson's Disease, Paralysis after Stroke, and other movement disorders
Attention Deficit Disorder, Alzheimer's Disease, and other cognitive disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, and other emotional disorders
Adverse effects of medically-necessary treatments (e.g., Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy)
• The utility of music and other forms of paralinguistic communication for
Education of school children who arc in the early stages of language and math acquisition
The large proportion of children with developmental language and math disorders who
can benefit from paralinguistic cues during learning beyond the early years of language
acquisition.
Solution
Assemble an interdisciplinary team with expertise in cognitive neuroscience, adult and child neurology,
early education, music, computer science, and product development from academia, the health care
industry, and the private sector in order to:
• Found a 49420(3) Private Operating Foundation whose Board members arc affiliated with a major
university, major medical center, and venture capitalists/entrencurs

Proposal: Florida Science Foundation 20081111
• Conduct basic neuroscience research on neuroanatomical, neurochemical, neurophysiological,
neuroethological, and genetic bases of humans' innate, universal competence for music using space and
some resources provided by the affiliated university and major medical center and approved by their
Institutional Review Boards, and other resources, related overhead, and all research salary and fringe
paid by our Foundation
• Conduct rigorous, prospective, longitudinal, randomized-controlled clinical trials of infants, children,
and adults who are patients being diagnosed and treated at the affiliated major medical center for pain,
movement disorders, high blood pressure, emotional disorders, cognitive disorders, chremotherapy,
radiation therapy, and other disorders.
• Develop and patent treatment protocols and devices in the course of doing the above clinical trials.
• Conduct rigorous, prospective, longitudinal, randomized-controlled trials of novel educational tools
for teaching reading and math to elementary school children, beginning with reading programs for 1st
grade urban schoolchildren that incorporate paralinguistic devices — e.g., prosodic cueing with rhythm,
rhyme, and assonance — to enhance word recognition, reading speed, and reading comrehension.
• Develop and patient education protocols and tools in the course of doing the above educational trials.
• Build the world's first MusicMindBrain Database of behavioral, neural, and genetic data from all
healthy and sick infants, children, and adults studied during the course of the above basic neuroscience
research, clinical trials, and educational trials.
Organization and Expertise
The following individuals are committed to participating in the research, clinical, and education activities
of the proposed Private Operating Foundation. All that is needed for their participation is salary
support for their efforts. A few individuals already have their salary guaranteed and are willing to
participate pro bono, though typically their percent effort would be less than 10% because of other
commitments.

Funding Requirements
Funding requirements are calculated on the basis of 1) annual operating costs provided by an
endowment yielding 4% annually; and 2) start-up funds that cover the first year of operating costs
plus equipment and supplies needed for the first year. No "cost-of-living" or inflation increases were
included in these estimates, nor do they include projected costs for equipment repairs, upgrades, new
software etc. This reflects, in part, the fact that we will continue to apply for funding to federal and
private sources for funding and that we will continue to try to increase the size of our Board,
particularly the number of members from the business community who can help us to grow our
annual giving fund.
1. Endowment = $9.625M
At 4% per year, this would provide for an Annual Operating Budget of $385k, to be distributed as
follows:
Personnel = $250,000
Equipment = 25,000
Supplies =
25,000
Travel =
10,000
Overhead =
75,000
$385,000
2. Start-Up = $785k
Year 1 Operating Cost = $385k
Electroacoustics (ERP) = $200k
Psychoacoustics = $25k
Auditory fMRI = $25k
Microelectrode = $25k
Neurochemistry = $25k
Quantitative Morphometry = $25k
