Music and Biology of Wellness

It is said that humans already know how to maintain their physical body to live 120 years. Recently, biologists reported that some endogenous compounds, such as the Sirt1 gene as an example, might potentially induce autophagy or regenerate ES cells, dramatically turning the biological clock. However, I believe that wellness is not only a state of muscles, heart, and skin; it is a capability of continuous solving intellectual tasks, i.e. to maintain creativity. When humans recognize signals from the five senses, such as light, sound or odor, psychological and physiological effects emerge every time. Accumulating those effects can modify DNA chemistry, eventually changing gene expression that controls sleeping, eating, and overall motivation towards communication. Thus we can not disregard this capability of the brain to achieve wellness. My goal is to create technology that helps everyone to live their own lives by harnessing this capability of the brain to turn the signals into favorable biology.
I am focusing on listening to music, which is a very complex cognitive task. My research interest is to understand how music can impact psycho-somatics to create technologies for wellness. Using AGCT-Deep and AI methods, I create a recommendation technology that comprehends and optimize the person's challenge towards education, healthcare and happiness.
