The Frequencies of Peace lullaby project is the work of neuroscientists
and music therapy application Spiritune aimed at Syrian children.
Ghaliaa Chaker, a Syrian singer based in Dubai, wrote and recorded the
lullaby in Arabic to help traumatized children across the country fall
asleep. The initiative combines music therapy and clinical research from
neuroscientists at New York University and Stanford University, and
identifies musical characteristics that trigger emotions in the brain to
induce and improve sleep. Chaker hopes the lullaby eases the memory of
the violence Syrian children faced over the past decade. She hopes the
song will help ease the memory of the violence Syrian children faced
over the past decade.
