“…Music-to-movement alignment strategies enable us to continuously and closely follow a person's behavioral response to music. This is of great value for sports and rehabilitation programs where music-based biofeedback is employed to improve individual performance [43]. In the future, the aim is to further improve our alignment strategies and introduce musical beats either slightly before or after the predicted footfalls.…”

The use of music and specifically tempo-matched music has been shown to affect running performance. But can we maximize the synchronization of movements to music and does maximum synchronization influence kinematics and motivation? In this study, we explore the effect of different types of music-to-movement alignment strategies on phase coherence, cadence and motivation. These strategies were compared to a control condition where the music tempo was deliberately not aligned to the running cadence. Results show that without relative phase alignment, a negative mean asynchrony (NMA) of footfall timings with respect to the beats is obtained. This means that footfalls occurred slightly before the beat and that beats were anticipated. Convergence towards this NMA or preferred relative phase angle was facilitated when the first music beat of a new song started close to the step, which means that entrainment occurred. The results also show that using tempo and phase alignment, the relative phase can be manipulated or forced in a certain angle with a high degree of accuracy. Ensuring negative angles larger than NMA (step before beat) results in increased motivation and decreasing cadence. Running in NMA or preferred relative phase angles results in a null effect on cadence. Ensuring a positive phase angle with respect to NMA results in higher motivation and higher cadence. None of the manipulations resulted in change in perceived exhaustion or a change in velocity. Results also indicate that gender plays an important role when using forced phase algorithms: effects were more pronounced for the female population than for the male population. The implementation of the proposed alignment strategies and control of beat timing while running opens possibilities optimizing the individual running cadence and motivation.

“…In our view, an artificial system should be able to respond to human expression while using artificially generated expression through dialogue (Hornbaek and Oulasvirta 2017). Biofeedback systems, for example, should have artificial prediction capacity, in order to generate the appropriate feedback for human interaction (see Lorenzoni et al 2018;Maes, Buhmann, and Leman 2016;Moens et al 2014). In art and science contexts, we can imagine interactive environments that are real-time responsive to explorations of the artists' intentions.…”

We argue that current cultural developments, driven by innovative technology, call for a reconsideration of the role of humanities as a field of study in which art and science is tightly integrated. This integration would allow the humanities to develop a proactive power such that it can (co-)steer the innovative developments of the techno-culture. Integrated art-science research may be realized in contexts where human expressive interaction with multimedia is investigated. Research outcomes from this domain may offer opportunities for humanities to contribute to cultural developments. Given the context of interactive multimedia, we offer a theoretical framework based on art-science research concerning: (1) human interaction, (2) interaction systems, and (3) cultural and societal interaction outcomes. The goal of the framework is to contribute to a new ambition for the humanities, one in which knowledge about culture, on top of being reflective, critical, and descriptive, has an intrinsic power to contribute to innovative techno-cultural developments.

“…The feedback subsystem has the capability to synchronize the tempo of the music with the running cadence in real-time, which has been experienced as motivating 25 . The use of synchronized audio in an exercise program consisting of locomotor activities has improved adherence to physical activity 26 , emphasizing the idea that interaction with music is empowering 27 , 28 . The beats per minute of the music continuously adapt to the steps per minute of the runner 24 , so the music-based biofeedback system allows for cadence-induced changes if desired by the user.…”

Methods to reduce impact in distance runners have been proposed based on real-time auditory feedback of tibial acceleration. These methods were developed using treadmill running. In this study, we extend these methods to a more natural environment with a proof-of-concept. We selected ten runners with high tibial shock. They used a music-based biofeedback system with headphones in a running session on an athletic track. The feedback consisted of music superimposed with noise coupled to tibial shock. The music was automatically synchronized to the running cadence. The level of noise could be reduced by reducing the momentary level of tibial shock, thereby providing a more pleasant listening experience. The running speed was controlled between the condition without biofeedback and the condition of biofeedback. The results show that tibial shock decreased by 27% or 2.96 g without guided instructions on gait modification in the biofeedback condition. The reduction in tibial shock did not result in a clear increase in the running cadence. The results indicate that a wearable biofeedback system aids in shock reduction during over-ground running. This paves the way to evaluate and retrain runners in over-ground running programs that target running with less impact through instantaneous auditory feedback on tibial shock.
