BackgroundBackground
Metronomes provide time or rhythm to musicians
Currently metronome features include:
LCD display Mechanical and electronic
timing mechanisms Beats which are audible and/or
tactile Analog and digital user outputs

Design MotivationDesign MotivationThe motivation for our design comes
from Vanessa Young, a music student at Carnegie Mellon
Conventional visual and audio metronomes tend to be distracting
Currently there is no adequate device on the market which functions as a metronome and uses a precise tactile pulse as the stimulus
Such a metronome would allow the user to “internalize” the beat of the music
![Page 4: Physiological Metronome Adam Pala, Ben Fleming, Cole Drifka, Jeff Theisen Clients: Dr. Bill Fahl, Dept. of Oncology Vanessa Young, Carnegie Mellon music.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bc744/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Client Requirements and Design Client Requirements and Design ConstraintsConstraints
The client requires the following for the metronome device:
Maintain the tempo in an inaudible and accurate manner
Cover a tempo range of 40 to 260 bpm (beats per minute)
Should not attach to parts of the body involved in playing the instrument (i.e. forearm or wrist)

Option: Option: VibrationVibrationOne option for the tactile stimulus
would be a vibration, similar to that felt on a phone
Vibration would be produced by an electric motor
Pro◦ The user would likely have no trouble
feeling the vibrationCon
◦ Ability to differentiate between successive vibrations may be difficult at high tempos
![Page 9: Physiological Metronome Adam Pala, Ben Fleming, Cole Drifka, Jeff Theisen Clients: Dr. Bill Fahl, Dept. of Oncology Vanessa Young, Carnegie Mellon music.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bc744/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Option:Option: Compression CompressionAnother possible option for the stimulus would
be a band around the arm, leg, or lower back which “squeezed” the user to the selected beat
The compression would be produced by a solenoid which shortened the band for each beat
Pro◦ Comfort
Con◦ Uniform compression may be difficult to achieve◦ Complicated construction
![Page 10: Physiological Metronome Adam Pala, Ben Fleming, Cole Drifka, Jeff Theisen Clients: Dr. Bill Fahl, Dept. of Oncology Vanessa Young, Carnegie Mellon music.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bc744/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Option: Option: ShockShock
A small shock could be provided to the user to represent the beat or time of the music
There are several problems with this option including user safety, variability in shock based on user skin conditions (e.g. sweating), and user comfort
![Page 11: Physiological Metronome Adam Pala, Ben Fleming, Cole Drifka, Jeff Theisen Clients: Dr. Bill Fahl, Dept. of Oncology Vanessa Young, Carnegie Mellon music.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bc744/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Option: Option: TapTap
The tactile stimulus could be a mechanical tap
Generated from a solenoid directly in contact with the body
Pro◦ Good resolution at high tempos
Con◦ Size of solenoid
![Page 12: Physiological Metronome Adam Pala, Ben Fleming, Cole Drifka, Jeff Theisen Clients: Dr. Bill Fahl, Dept. of Oncology Vanessa Young, Carnegie Mellon music.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bc744/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
