In this article, Toder shares his experience attending two events; a convening of philanthropic, art, and community leaders, co-sponsored by Aroha Philanthropies and the Hewlett Foundation, which focused on the benefits of creative aging programs for older adults; and a lecture presented by Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, a professor of Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, who focused on the development of several new video-type games including one that is meditation focused and another related to music by using rhythm to enhance brain function.
