Evolutionary computation system for musical composition using listener's heartbeat information
Makoto Fukumoto, Jun‐ichi Imai · IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering · 2008
Abstract Interactive evolutionary computation (EC) creates media contents that fit on a user; however, user's fatigue problem still remains. Takagi et al. proposed a framework of EC that evaluates media contents based on a user's physiological indices, and this technique is expected to solve the problem. In this study, we constructed an EC system that creates musical melody using listener's heartbeat intervals. Based on the constructed system, we proposed a method that creates media contents and presents them to a user automatically using blank. The constructed system and the proposed method have the possibility to reduce user's fatigue. Copyright © 2008 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
