Computational neuroscientist Kimaya Lecamwasam combines her musical background with neuroscience to investigate non-pharmacological mental health interventions. Her master’s thesis on “pharmamusicology” analyzes how music can positively influence anxiety disorders. Now in her PhD program, she is exploring the effects of large-scale live music experiences on mental health.

In addition to her research, Lecamwasam collaborates with various organizations to apply her findings in real-world settings. She assesses the emotional resonance of AI-generated music against human-composed music and is exploring interactive music experiences to gauge their emotional impact. Her commitment to community-building within her graduate program highlights her dedication to blending artistry with scientific rigor, ultimately aiming to enhance emotional well-being through music.
