Induction of sleep and awakening by music-heartbeat entrainment system

本研究的目的是探讨音乐-心律不齐的现象，以及它对平稳无意识的睡眠和觉醒的诱导作用。正如我们所料，通过开发基于心跳生理学的音乐-心跳实时同步算法，成功地证明了被试的心跳被这种独特的音乐所牵引，其程度具有统计学意义。睡眠和觉醒的诱导也被观察到，但发现受试者之间的差异很大。这仍然是一个未来的工作。

The aim of this study is to investigate the phenomena of music-heartbeat entrainment, and its use for the induction of the sleep and awakening smoothly and unconsciously. As we expected, by developing music-heartbeat real-time synchronization algorithm based on the physiology of cardiac beat, it was successfully demonstrated that the subjects’ heart beat was entrained by this unique music in the degree of statistically significant. The induction of sleep and awakening was also observed but variety between subjects was found to be large. This remains as a future work.
