Abstract
This presentation reflects on the methodological challenges of studying auditory–respiratory synchrony across controlled and ecological settings. Drawing on recent empirical work, I discuss trade-offs between measurement precision, ecological realism, real-time sensing, and collective biofeedback. Preliminary data and implementation challenges are used to highlight how breathing can become both a measurable physiological signal and a sonifiable component of musical experience.
Bavo Van Kerrebroeck
Bavo's research investigates how adaptive auditory feedback and sonification can enhance self-regulation and well-being. His work bridges psychophysiology, human-computer interaction, and music cognition to explore how shared auditory and respiratory entrainment fosters relaxation and connectedness. His aim is to develop scientifically grounded, engaging, and accessible biofeedback systems that combine technology, cognition, and the arts.
