Cyclic Patterns and Spatial Orientations in Artificial
Impulsive Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) Sounds.
Show summary
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation in the neck and spine often triggered by specific sounds. This paper reports a study on the impact of different cyclic patterns and spatial orientations—defined here as the perceived directionality and motion of sound sources in a three-dimensional auditory space—on inducing ASMR experiences. The results demonstrate that both the type of cyclic pattern and the spatial orientation significantly influence the intensity and nature of ASMR experiences. Furthermore, the research explores synthesizing ASMR-inducing sounds while preserving key audio characteristics from acoustically recorded ASMR content. Through survey data analysis and regression modeling, distinct patterns emerge regarding the relationship between personality traits and ASMR experience. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of ASMR as a sensory phenomenon and provide insights into the potential applications of artificially generated ASMR stimuli. Additionally, the research sheds light on the role of spatiality in ASMR experiences and the synthesis of ASMR-inducing sounds for future studies and practical applications

Bodies in Concert.
Show summary
Increasingly, research on music performance is moving out of controlled laboratory settings and into concert halls, where there are opportunities to explore how performance unfolds in high-arousal conditions and how performers and audiences interact. In this session, we will present findings from a series of live research concerts that we carried out with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra performed the same program of classical repertoire for four audiences of schoolchildren and an audience of families. Orchestra members wore sensors that collected cardiac activity, respiration, and body motion data, and the conductor additionally wore a full-body motion capture suit and eye-tracking glasses. Audience members in some of the concerts were invited to wear reflective wristbands, and wristband motion was captured using infrared video recording. We will begin the session with a discussion of the scientific and methodological challenges that arose during the project, in particular relating to the large scale of data capture (>50 musicians and hundreds of audience members), the visible nature of research that is carried out on a concert stage, and the development of procedures for aligning data from different recording modalities. Next, we will present findings from two lines of analysis that investigate different aspects of behavioural and physiological coordination within the orchestra. One analysis investigates the effects of audience noise and musical roles on coherence in (i) cardiac rate and variability and (ii) respiratory phase and rate. The second analysis investigates the effects of musical demands on synchronization of body sway, bowing, and respiration in string sections. We will conclude the session with an open discussion of how live concert research might be optimized.

Comparing inertial motion sensors for capturing human micromotion.
Show summary
The paper presents a study of the noise level of accelerometer data from a mobile phone compared to three commercially available IMU-based devices (AX3, Equivital, and Movesense) and a marker-based infrared motion capture system (Qualisys). The sensors are compared in static positions and for measuring human micromotion, with larger motion sequences as reference. The measurements show that all but one of the IMU-based devices capture motion with an accuracy and precision that is far below human micromotion. However, their data and representations differ, so care should be taken when comparing data between devices.
