✨ Upstate Alumni & Friends Magazine Highlight ✨

Meet Lindsay Grainger, assistant professor of nursing at USC Upstate Mary Black College of Nursing. She is a passionate woman that focuses her research on understanding how music can help dementia patients through personalized music.

Grainger explains how music touches so many areas of the brain and how it is present throughout life experiences and memories.

Helping patients to be able to respond in the exact moment the music touches their brain, Grainger mentions that “it was cool to see the benefits of immediate results” after the patients were able to communicate in a better way.

For dementia patients, Lindsay Grainger sees great potential in communicating with music when language fails.
