Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale (Tsai CITY)
Schwarzman Session - Music as Medicine: Bridging Art, Science, and the Future of Mental Health
Schwarzman Sessions are peer-led gatherings where conversations generate collaborations and move ideas into action. Because seats are limited, registrants will be automatically placed on the waitlist and will be notified via email if they are selected to participate.
Can a song truly heal? Explore the growing frontier of “music as medicine” with Jamie Pabst, founder and CEO of Spiritune. Pabst will unpack their research journey and invite discussion on how technology, science, and creativity can converge to make mental health care more human. Learn more about how evidence-based compositions are being used to address anxiety, fatigue, and cognitive performance.
This Session is a collaboration between Yale Schwarzman Center, Tsai CITY, and the Good Life Center.

- What barriers exist to integrating art or emotion into “serious” scientific or institutional spaces?
