Neurologic music therapy last came into research and clinical focus via cognitive rehabilitation. New imaging techniques studying higher cognitive functions in the human brain ‘in vivo’ and theoretical advance- ments in music and brain function have facilitated this development. There are shared cognitive and percep- tual mechanisms and shared neural systems between musical cognition and parallel nonmusical cognitive functions that provide access for music to affect gen- eral nonmusical functions, such as memory, attention, and executive function. The emerging clinical literature shows substantial support for these effects in rehabili- tative retraining of the injured brain. Key findings relevant for clinical applications of neurologic music therapy to cognitive rehabilitation are presented and discussed.
