Nathalie Gosselin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, University of Montreal. She is a researcher at the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS) and the Research Center on the Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM). In 2013, she founded the Music, Emotions and Cognition Research Laboratory (www.musec.ca). Her work spans clinical and healthy populations across the lifespan, with particular focus on ADHD and aging populations.
Dr. Gosselin's research focuses on the effects of music on cognition, including attention, executive functions, and memory throughout development. She investigates both clinical populations (particularly ADHD) and healthy individuals, with special emphasis on developing and evaluating music-based interventions to promote mental and cognitive health in older adults. Her work bridges neuropsychology, music cognition, and clinical applications.
Her publication trends reveal consistent research on music's cognitive and emotional effects, with increasing focus on clinical applications, aging populations, and ADHD. Recent work emphasizes practical interventions in healthcare settings, dental procedures, and mental health contexts, demonstrating translational impact of basic research on music cognition.
