Musicality of Biological Signals

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the tools and the methodology for sonic representation of data, supplementary to visualization. Sonification procedures are briefly presented. The programs were tested using various cardiac signals: heart rate HR for low level representation (A, Q and S) and ECG for M level representation. The results, represented by the sound files, were uploaded in an accessible library, which contains both sonic and visual representation of the signals.
