Together with Jeska, I presented an ongoing study on musical interaction. In the study one of the measurements was the body movement of two participants. This is done with boards that are equipped with weight sensors. The data that comes out of this can be inspected for synchronisation, quality and quantity of movement, movement periodicities.

The hardware is the work of Ivan Schepers, the software used to capture and transmit messages is called "the MIDImorphosis" and developed by me. The research is in collaboration with Jeska Buhman, Marc Leman and Alessandro Dell'Anna. An article with detailed findings is forthcoming.
