The ERC COSMOS Team has a good representation at Computing in Cardiology this year, which takes place 14-17 September 2025 in São Paulo, Brazil, followed by a Science Collaboration Summit.
Natalia Cotic will report on a validation and extension of the classic Bernardi study on cardiovascular entrainment to music; Tianshi Xie‘s poster shows performance of 12-lead ECG classification using a combined CNN-Transformer network with hand-crafted features; Poulomi Pal‘s research tackles music-based prediction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure from ECG and respiration signals; and, Mateusz Soliński‘s detects associations between musical and physiological change points for acute music-based interventions. Elaine Chew will chair the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Variability session, and present the 12-lead ECG poster and BP prediction talk.
Since 2019, we have been attending CinC, with a break during the pandemic. In Singapore (2019), Elaine spoke on methodologies applied to the pacemaker music study, and presented posters on atrial fibrillation stratification via vibrato analysis, and detection of low-frequency oscillations via GFNNs; in Atlanta (2023), Mateusz won a Best Poster award for trio study analyses: time delay stability analysis of ensemble interaction, and triangle simplex plot representation of heart rate variability in music rehearsals; in Karlesruhe (2024), we gave two talks: Natalia on computational validation of phrase arcs synchronising with autonomic variables and Elaine presented our PhysmoNote web interface for browsing PhysioNet.
