    Our lab brings music therapy to the metaverse
    When in-person sessions are not possible, music therapy should not stop. Our lab has developed the first immersive metaverse system that enables music therapists to interact remotely with their patients (watch a demo video), even when patients cannot leave home for serious physical or psychological reasons. We designed and validated the virtual reality system through a team of music therapists, clinical psychologists, and computer scientists. The scientific article with all the details has just been published by the international journal Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies.
