“…However, few studies have addressed sensorimotor synchronisation in athletes (Buhmann, Moens, Van Dyck, Dotov, & Leman, 2018;Maes, Lorenzoni, & Six, 2018), even though athletes in various sports may benefit from sensorimotor synchronisation (van de Rijt, 2018).…”

words (Main text: Introduction-Conclusion) Differences in limb coordination in polyrhythmic production among water polo players, artistic swimmers and drummersThis study compares polyrhythmic production ability between water polo players (WPs), artistic swimmers (ASs) and drummers (Ds), to assess how their differing experiences in coordinating complex inter-limb activity with music affected this ability. Eight ASs, eight WPs and eight Ds participated. They were asked to perform finger and foot taps in a singlerhythm task (every 750 ms) and two polyrhythmic tasks (finger and foot taps at 750 and 500 ms, respectively, and vice versa). The percentage of correct response cycles (PCRC), subjective difficulty scores were collected and analysed using a two-way mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) and coefficients of variation of the inter-tap interval (CVITI) were collected and analysed using a three-way mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA). The three groups showed no statistically significant differences in the single-rhythm task. However, on polyrhythmic tasks, the WPs were significantly outperformed by the other two groups in PCRC and CVITI. These results suggest that the experience of coordinating limbs with music has positive impacts on polyrhythmic production ability. They also imply that ASs and Ds have similar polyrhythmic production ability despite the apparent differences in task complexity in their daily training and performances.

“…Our starting point thereby was the idea that stress can be reduced, and relaxation increased by modulating breathing patterns demonstrated by earlier research. We proposed the use of music and sound to effectuate spontaneous breathing pattern adaptation toward these goal states rooted in their combined arousal (Nilsson, 2009;Hunter and Schellenberg, 2010;Bergstrom et al, 2014) and (spontaneous) synchronization effects (Maes et al, 2019). The present study applied these principles of music and sound into a sonification system for spontaneous breathing adaptation.…”

Since sound and music are powerful forces and drivers of human behavior and physiology, we propose the use of sonification to activate healthy breathing patterns in participants to induce relaxation. Sonification is often used in the context of biofeedback as it can represent an informational, non-invasive and real-time stimulus to monitor, motivate or modify human behavior. The first goal of this study is the proposal and evaluation of a distance-based biofeedback system using a tempo- and phase-aligned sonification strategy to adapt breathing patterns and induce states of relaxation. A second goal is the evaluation of several sonification stimuli on 18 participants that were recruited online and of which we analyzed psychometric and behavioral data using, respectively questionnaires and respiration rate and ratio. Sonification stimuli consisted of filtered noise mimicking a breathing sound, nature environmental sounds and a musical phrase. Preliminary results indicated the nature stimulus as most pleasant and as leading to the most prominent decrease of respiration rate. The noise sonification had the most beneficial effect on respiration ratio. While further research is needed to generalize these findings, this study and its methodological underpinnings suggest the potential of the proposed biofeedback system to perform ecologically valid experiments at participants' homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…However, many of the previously cited studies show that the feedback has modest clinical value. This could partly be due to the manner in which it is designed-the musical stimuli generated are usually static and simplistic, either monophonic instruments [50] or very basic ensembles [54], [56]. The synthesis of stimuli resembling professionally produced music is undoubtedly challenging.…”

In this article, we present a technical framework aimed at facilitating musical biofeedback research in poststroke movement rehabilitation. The framework comprises wireless wearable inertial sensors and software built with inexpensive and opensource tools. The software enables layered and adjustable music synthesis and has a generic movement-music mapping module.Using this, we designed digital musical interactions for balance, sit-to-stand, and gait training. Preliminary trials with subacute stroke patients indicated that the interactions were clinically feasible. Expert interviews with a focus group of clinicians were also conducted, where these interactions were deemed as meaningful and relevant to clinical protocols, with comprehensible feedback (albeit sometimes unpleasant or disturbing) for several patient types. We carried out system benchmarking, finding that the system has sufficiently short loop delays (∼90 ms) and a healthy sensing range (>9 m) and is computationally efficient (11.1% peak CPU usage on a quad-core processor). Future studies will focus on using this framework with patients to both develop the interactions further and measure their effects on motor learning, performance retention, and psychological factors to help gauge their true clinical potential.
