Re: Expts with Pediatric Populations, including ASD patients It appears likely that we will propose a Mobile Music Laboratory as part of "The California Music Experience: Brain, Health & Education" multi-campus grant application, which we are writing July 10-13 at the Marconi Retreat and revising)submitting to the UC President's office before the end of this month. The idea is to equip the MML so UC faculty will be capable of conducting experiments incorporating psychoacoustic, sensorimotor, cognitive, EEG, EP, ERP, EKG, GSR, Motion Capture, immunological (salivary), and genetic (buccal smear) methodologies in diverse communities throughout the state. Potential locations include schools, rehabilitation hospitals, VA hospitals, and senior living facilities. Any ideas you might have for community partners and locations and for running your proposed experiments using apparatus on the MML (in addition to your own locations/labs) would be of interest. Professor Sarah Creel of UCSD Cog Sci is the developmental psychologist on the UC MERCI Board who is especially interested in infant, child, and adolescent populations - I'm Ccing her here.

What a coincidence that you're also interested in auditory EEG and also have a connection to taiko drumming! Perhaps a good next step would be to drive up and meet in person? I could bring some of our portable EEG equipment and some drums. I will be at a retreat next week but am available the following week and could arrange to drive up pretty much any day.

Hello Alex, I am including Lesley our executive director for Children's Music Fund, a music therapy org I founded while at Mass General (www.TheCMF.org). A couple of years back I mentored one of our ENT post-docs on a study looking at auditory testing and EEG in autistic and control patients. And...Incidentally, one of our volunteers was part of the UCLA Taiko drumming group. We should talk and see if we can collaborate on this wonderful project of yours.

Cheers, Mark Alexander Khalil to Mark Hello Mark, Jun 21 (10 days ago) It was good to see you--if briefly--at the Mainly Mozart event the other day. You mentioned to me that you knew a clinician who would be interested to conduct ASD-music related research. I am *very* interested in pursuing this. I've been developing a taiko- drumming inspired intervention for ASD together with a local music therapist for some time and have also been working on a rhythmic oddball EEG study with autistics. So, I think it would be very interesting to develop a study. Thanks! Alex Alexander K.
