Reflection on the activity:

Presented two research posters at the Global Neuropsychology Congress 2024. The first poster, titled “The Role of Background Music in Attentional Networks in Parkinson’s Disease”, showcased preliminary findings from Experiment 5of my doctoral research, highlighting how music-induced mood and arousal states can modulate attentional performance in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, using the ANT (Attentional Network Test) .

The second poster, “Efficacy of a Theatre-Based Intervention in Parkinson’s Disease”, summarized the results of a collaborative study evaluating the emotional and functional impact of theatre-based therapy in PD patients. Both presentations provided opportunities to engage with leading experts in neuropsychology and receive valuable feedback for further development of these research lines.
