Rhythm Karaoke: A Novel Method for Rhythmic Imitation of Finger Movements
A rhythmic imitation platform for measuring fine motor timing precision with millisecond-level sensitivity and reliable auditory-feedback conditions.
Submitted to Scientific Reports, Springer Nature
Overview
A data-rich timing platform connecting musical structure, imitation, and motor precision.
- Builds a rhythmic imitation platform with adaptive auditory feedback.
- Measures timing precision using mean signed asynchrony, variability, and lag-1 autocorrelation.
- Provides a reliable behavioral layer that supports downstream AI and rehabilitation work.
Platform
Rhythm Karaoke investigates fine motor timing through a rhythmic imitation setup that combines auditory stimuli and finger-tapping measurement. It turns musical structure into a precise experimental tool.
This project matters because it does not only study performance. It produces a reliable metric engine that can support broader modeling work.
Study framing
The project examines how melody, semantic content, and feedback shape rhythmic precision and user experience. That makes it both a measurement contribution and a design question about what kinds of stimuli best sustain performance.
