BodyResT
Music affects us in various ways. It can release tension, worries and help us relax, hence improving our wellbeing.
Biofeedback Music is a research project in which we combine music with technology, using the music as a means for relaxation. In one part of the project we are searching for relations between emotional states and musical parameters. The aim is to develop a wearable device that produces customized music for relaxation that interacts with biosensors measuring the listeners’ level of stress. The prototype we have developed for this purpose is named BodyResT. By using music for relaxation and stress reduction, the Biofeedback Music will result in an improvement of the users’ health and overall wellbeing. Biofeedback Music is developed in co-operation with the Department of Health Science at Luleå University of Technology.
