Audun Myskja deltok i TEDxArendal under Arendsalsuka 2013. Han har i mange år jobbet som lege på blant annet sykehjem, og under TEDxArendal fortalte Myskja om resultatene han har sett etter å ha brukt musikk i miljøbehandlingen. Hans arbeid er noe av det som danner grunnlaget for opplæringsprogrammet Musikkbasert miljøbehandling.
