Dr Lauren Stewart is a post-doctoral research
fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, London.
During her doctorate she studied how the acquisition of musical
literacy changes the mind and brain. To do this, she trained
15 adult volunteers to grade 1 level keyboard and scanned
them using functional magnetic resonance imaging, pre- and
post- training.
A musician herself, she learned the clarinet
and piano at the Royal College junior department and now plays
in a classical ensemble as well as a rock band.
