A book to discover the cognitive mechanisms of perception of music, the relationship between rhythm, movement, and health, the brain mechanisms that link music, pleasure, and emotion, and the many ways in which music improves our quality of life, leads to wellness, happiness and provides us a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Internet2 Projects
Very interested in finding ways of integrating new technologies, especially the Internet, in education, Patricia has developed several projects using the Internet of second generation. She has implemented the I2 technology for the Barcelona Festival Of Song in collaboration with Institutions such as I2Cat Foundation, Anella Cultural and the Centro Cultural Sao Paulo.
Thanks to this collaboration in 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Barcelona Festival of Song held concerts and classes simultaneously between Brazil and Barcelona.
These experiences have led Patricia to write and research on subjects such as interactivity and to reflect on the new tools artists need to acquire to be in tune with a historic moment determined by new technologies.
