The understanding of music's role and function in therapy and medicine is undergoing a rapid transformation, based on neuroscientific research showing the reciprocal relationship between studying the neurobiological foundations of music in the brain and how musical behavior through learning and experience changes brain and behavior function. Through this research the theory and clinical practice of music therapy is changing more and more from a social science model, based on cultural roles and general well-being concepts, to a neuroscience-guided model based on brain function and music perception. This paradigm shift has the potential to move music therapy from an adjunct modality to a central treatment modality in rehabilitation and therapy.
基于神经科学研究，人们对音乐在治疗和医学中的作用及功能的理解正在迅速转变。该研究表明，研究大脑中音乐的神经生物学基础与通过学习和经验形成的音乐行为如何改变大脑及行为功能之间存在着相互关系。通过这项研究，音乐治疗的理论和临床实践正越来越多地从基于文化角色和总体幸福感概念的社会科学模式，转变为基于大脑功能和音乐感知的神经科学导向模式。这种范式转变有可能使音乐治疗从辅助治疗方式转变为康复和治疗中的核心治疗方式。
