Buddhi Insights : Beyond Drugs and Devices

In Episode 2 of Buddhi Insight, Dr. Krish reflects on a thought-provoking debate at the Indian Federation of Neuro Rehabilitation Annual Congress in Mumbai with Professor Michael Clarke, one of the world’s leading experts in Neurological Music Therapy. The discussion explored a question that sits at the heart of modern rehabilitation: Should we only value interventions that have extensive research backing, or should we also recognise therapies whose benefits emerge from clinical practice, patient outcomes, and the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt? Drawing from clinical neuroscience, real-world patient recovery, and decades of neurorehabilitation experience, this episode challenges conventional thinking and explores how recovery after stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and long COVID is often shaped by the dynamic relationship between the brain, the intervention, and the individual.
