  • Patent number: 11690535
    Abstract: A mobile music listening device synchronizing in a personalized way music and movement, and dedicated to improving the kinematics of the runner. Thanks to inertial units connected to a smartphone, the runner's steps are detected in real time by the mobile application. A dedicated algorithm adapts the pulsation of the musical excerpts in such a way as to bring the runner to a suitable cadence, capable of preventing injuries. A method for the synchronization of the rhythmic stimulation with the biological variability using a Kuramoto model characterized in that phase oscillator with a coupling term from the movement dynamics with parameters of, coupling strength, maximum and minimum frequencies for a fraction of the unmodified song frequency, maximum difference between the tempo and target frequency, Target the target frequency.

  • Publication number: 20180199859
    Abstract: It comprises new systematic procedures for filtering synchronization data (raw data: tap times and sound/musical beat reference times) in order to obtain accurate and reliable measures of synchronization accuracy and variability (or consistency). The procedures detailed are used to provide reliable synchronization data that can be used to compute measures of synchronization accuracy and variability based on linear statistics or circular statistics. These procedures are particularly appropriate for analyzing synchronization performance in individuals with rhythmic disorders.
