The MoCap Toolbox is a set of functions written in
Matlab for analyzing and visualizing motion capture data.
It is aimed at investigating music-related movement, but
can be beneficial for other research areas as well. Since
the toolbox code is available as open source, users can
freely adapt the functions according to their needs. Users
can also make use of the additional functionality that
Matlab offers, such as other toolboxes, to further analyze
the features extracted with the MoCap Toolbox within the
same environment. This paper describes the structure of
the toolbox and its data representations, and gives an introduction
to the use of the toolbox for research and analysis
purposes. The examples cover basic visualization
and analysis approaches, such as general data handling,
creating stick-figure images and animations, kinematic
and kinetic analysis, and performing Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) on movement data, from which a
complexity-related movement feature is derived.

An Automatic Sleep Scoring Toolbox : Multi-modality of Polysomnography Signals’ Processing
Yan, Rui; Li, Fan; Wang, Xiaoyu; Ristaniemi, Tapani; Cong, Fengyu (SCITEPRESS Science And Technology Publications, 2019)Sleep scoring is a fundamental but time-consuming process in any sleep laboratory. To speed up the process of sleep scoring without compromising accuracy, this paper develops an automatic sleep scoring toolbox with the ... -
Influences of rhythm- and timbre-related musical features on characteristics of music-induced movement
Burger, Birgitta; Thompson, Marc; Luck, Geoff; Saarikallio, Suvi; Toiviainen, Petri (Frontiers, 2013)Music makes us move. Several factors can affect the characteristics of such movements, including individual factors or musical features. For this study, we investigated the effect of rhythm- and timbre-related musical ... -
Hunting for the beat in the body: on period and phase locking in music-induced movement
Burger, Birgitta; Thompson, Marc; Luck, Geoff; Saarikallio, Suvi; Toiviainen, Petri (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)Music has the capacity to induce movement in humans. Such responses during music listening are usually spontaneous and range from tapping to full-body dancing. However, it is still unclear how humans embody musical ... -

Several factors can affect the characteristics of these movements, including individual factors and musical features. Additionally, music-induced movement may also be ... -
Synchronizing eye tracking and optical motion capture : How to bring them together
Burger, Birgitta; Puupponen, Anna; Jantunen, Tommi (European Group for Eye Movement Research, 2018)Both eye tracking and motion capture technologies are nowadays frequently used in human sciences, although both technologies are usually used separately. However, measuring both eye and body movements simultaneously would ...
