A Statistical Method of Detecting Synchronization for Cardio-Music Synchrogram

摘要

The cardio-music synchrogram, which is a visualization tool that helps us observe the phase synchronization between heartbeats and beats of music, is originated in cardio-respiratory synchrogram. In this paper, we proposed a novel statistical method for detecting synchronization periods in cardio-music synchrogram (CMS), and reported the synchronization periods of the cardiac activity for 8 subjects in a listening experiments. Our approach focused on the difference between the statistical distributions of the correlation coefficient calculated for the CMS in a control experiment and in the CMS in the listening experiment.
