The Thurs night event is an open public event - please extend our invitation to those lectures and performance to your family, friends, and your colleague at Remo Health Rhythms. Thurs at 1:30-3:30p, The Institute for Music & Brain Science Board is meeting at the Redwood Room in the UCLA Faculty Center for lunch and a meeting. We were planning to present an overview of the proposal I have been discussing with Remo re: a prospective randomized-controlled trial examining the potential benefits of group drumming on gait, balance, and fall prevention in Parkinson Disease, Alzheimer Disease, and normal aging. Falling has reached epidemic proportions in the elderly and carries with it a high incidence of mortality at 1 year. Remo assured me you were even more knowledgable than he about how to desi n the stud and wanted to be sure I extended the invitation to the Board meeting. Please visit us a Board Chair Dr Robert Freeman, who is delivering the Keynote at the Symposium Thurs night, will be there along with several other Board members. I look forward to meeting you Thurs at 1:30p! Please don't hesitate to text or call my cell for any reason -= Yours, Mark Mark Tramo MD PhD UCLA Depts of Neurology & Ethnomusicology Director, The Institute for Music & Brain Science Cc: iMABS Board EFTA00844857
