Sarah Faber

Dr. Sarah Faber completed her PhD at the University of Toronto on the brain dynamics of music listening across the adult lifespan. She developed analytical frameworks for music and brain data that she will use to understand the efficacy of music-based interventions for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Her interest in music in health care stems from her past work as a music therapist in long-term care and adult mental health. Music’s profound and enduring connection throughout the lifespan inspires her research work and she is a fierce advocate for cross-disciplinary collaboration between music therapy and computational fields. She is completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Simon Fraser University’s Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology under the supervision of Dr Randy McIntosh.
