The next three to five years, I think we'll see some really dramatic movement there. But the role of music that's most apparent is that oftentimes people with dementia are experiencing a loss of memory such that they don't recognize loved ones, they don't know where they are or how they got there, and they may not even recognize themselves in a mirror.
