Hello there, my web site is currently minimal as I adapt to my new
circumstances.
I am currently a Medical Physics PhD student at the University of
Edinburgh, and live with my family in Edinburgh, Scotland. I study
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) where my project is to use
multifrequency MRE of muscle to study impact of topical and manual
therapies on the brain-muscle interaction. In related side projects I
am applying some new methods in structural neuroscience to study the
neuroplastic impact of musical training and various psychiatric and
medical conditions. My CV is at

I hail from Madison, Wisconsin and went to Haverford College. I then
trained as a pianist at the Juilliard School and played concerts in
the US, Canada, and Europe. Around this time I trained and received
certification in the Feldenkrais and Dalcroze methods, and embarked on
a ten year career as music-movement therapist, using my own method of
music-movement therapy that I call Cognitive Eurhythmics. I also
taught Dalcroze Eurhythmics in the school system and locally published
some sourcebooks and curricula.
My primary musical interest at this point is improvisation and I
maintain a blog of musical improvisations at
http://ericbarnhill.wordpress.com . The pace will pick up again once
there is more regular sleep among the house's younger member.
