AB This article explores the transformative impact of Extended DigitalMusical Instruments (EDMIs) in the realm of music therapy, education, and thearts. Focusing on BehCreative, an EDMI developed for therapeutic purposes,the study examines how these technologies can facilitate embodied learning andcreative expression. By integrating advanced technology, EDMIs like BehCreativeoffer new avenues for musical interaction, expanding traditional paradigmsof music therapy. The study highlights the interdisciplinary nature ofEDMIs, drawing on concepts of embodied cognition and affordance to redefinethe roles of spectators, composers, and performers. Through a pilot study involvingfMRI scans and qualitative interviews, the research assesses the impactof BehCreative on emotional and cognitive engagement, revealing significantbrain activation in areas associated with reward and emotional response. Thefindings underscore the potential of EDMIs to enhance motivation and engagement,offering substantial benefits for therapeutic and educational applications,particularly for individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities.The integration of EDMIs in various domains emphasizes their role in interdisciplinarycollaboration and artistic innovation, paving the way for furtherresearch to maximize their benefits.
