Multimodal Imagery in Music: Active Ingredients and Mechanisms Underlying Musical Engagement

Clinicians and researchers have provided strong evidence for the efficacy of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) and similar therapies across a wide range of clinical conditions. What is still lacking is a theoretical framework that would allow for the identification of the 'active ingredients' in this process. This paper seeks to introduce a new systemic framework for investigating such therapies by examining the biological roots as well as the role of music in the regulation of individual and social life to maintain homeostasis via multimodality by means of arousal, imagery, attentional engagement, emotion, memory and analogous processes. Taking the work of Edelman, Damasio and other leaders of modern neuroscience as a point of departure, homeostasis and multimodality are presented as essential not only to the human life process in terms of our active mental life but also to the fullness of Edelman's "primary consciousness" and Damasio's "core self." The implications of these intricate cross connections are considered as well as the unique propensity for music to spontaneously and multimodally engage these connections. Proposals are also made to evaluate these ideas and stimulate further research in both basic science and clinical practice.  multimodality, self, reentrant, signaling, homeostasis, consciousness, music therapy Spanish Imagineria Multimodal en musica: Ingredientes activos y los mecanismos que subyacen la participacion musical Harry Ballan Anna Abraham Resumen: Clinicos e investigadores han provisto de solida evidencia sobre la eficacia de la Imagineria Guiada y Musica (GIM) y de terapias similares en un amplio rango de condiciones clinicas. Lo que aun falta es un marco teorico que permitiria identificar los "ingredientes activos" en este proceso. Este trabajo busca introducir un nuevo marco sistematico para la investigacion de dichas terapias examinando los marcadores biologicos asi como el rol de la musica en la regulacion del individuo y su vida social para mantener la homeostasis de manera multimodal por medio del alerta, la imagineria, el compromiso atencional, la emocion, la memoria y otros procesos analogos. Tomando el trabajo de Edelman, Damasio y otros lideres de la neurociencia moderna como punto de partida, la homeostasis y la multimodalidad son presentadas como esenciales no solo en los procesos de la vida humana en terminos de nuestra vida activa mental sino tambien en la plenitud de la "conciencia primaria" de Edelman y del "core self" de Damasio. Las implicancias de estas intrincadas conexiones entrecruzadas son consideradas tambien como la propension espontanea y multimodal de la musica para enlazar estas conexiones. Se propone evaluar estas ideas y estimular nuevas investigaciones basadas tanto en la ciencia como en la practica clinica Palabras clave: msica, multimodal, imagineria, homeostasis, conciencia, musicoterapia German Multimodale Imagery in Music: Aktive Bestandteile und Mechanismen die musikalischem Handeln zugrunde liegen Harry Ballan, Anna Abraham Kliniker und Forscher haben uberzeugende Evidenz fur die Wirkung von Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) und ahnlicher Therapien uber ein weites Spektrum klinischer Zustande geliefert. Was noch fehlt, ist ein theoretischer Rahmen, der erlauben wurde, die aktiven Bestandteile in diesem Prozess zu identifizieren. Dieser Beitrag versucht, einen neuen systemischen Rahmen fur solche Therapien vorzustellen, indem die biologischen Wurzeln und die Rolle der Musik zur Regulation individuellen und sozialen Lebens untersucht werden, die uber Multimodalitaten von Arousal, Imagery, attentionales Engagement, Emotionen, Erinnerung und analogen Prozessen Homoostase zu erhalten suchen. Wenn man die Arbeiten von Edelmann, Damasio und anderen fuhrenden Personen der modernen Neurowissenschaften als Ausgangpunkt nimmt, werden Homoostase und Multimodalitat als wesentlich nicht nur fur den menschlichen Prozess unseres aktiven mentalen Lebens als auch als Fulle von Edelmans ,primary consciousnes" und Damasios ,core self" prasentiert. Die Verflechtungen dieser schwierigen Kreuz Verbindungen werden sowohl als einzigartige Neigung fur Musik bis zur spontanen und multimodalen Beteiligung dieser Verbindung angesehen. Es wurden bereits Vorschlage gemacht, diese Ideen zu evaluieren und weitere Forschung fur Grundlagenwissenschaft und klinischer Praxis anzuregen  Musik, Multimodalitat, Imagery, Homoostase, Bewusstsein, Musiktherapie. Italian Harry Ballan, Anna Abraham Medici e ricercatori hanno forito una forte evidenza dell'efficacia della Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) e di terapie simili, applicate ad una vasta gamma di condizioni cliniche. Cio che ancora manca e un quadro teorico che permetterebbe l'identificazione dei "principi attivi" in questo processo. Il presente documento si propone di introdurre un nuovo quadro sistematico per indagare tali terapia esaminando le radici biologiche, nonche il ruolo della musica nella regolazione della vita individuale e sociale mantenendo l'omeostasi per mezzo dell'eccitazione, l'immaginario, l'impegno dell'attenzione, emozione, memoria e altri processi analoghi. Prendendo il lavoro di Edelman, Damasio ed altri leader delle neuroscienze moderne come punto di partenza, l'omeostasi e la multimodalita sono essenzialmente presenti non solo per il processo della vita umana I termini di nostra vita mentale attiva, ma anche per la pienezza della "coscenza primadria di Edelman e il cuore di se stesso di Damasio. Le implicazioni di questi intricati collegamenti trasversali sono considerati come anche l'unica propensita per la musica di impegnare spontaneamente e multimodalmente quest connessioni. Le proposte per valutare queste idee e stimolare ultiriori ricerche sia nella scienza di base che nella pratica clinica sono fatte.
