The Effects of Music Listening on Anxiety and Agitation in People With Mild and Moderate Cognitive Impairment

The LUCID AI-based system for song selection responds to the collected measurement data (video and HRV) and music preference information (like/dislike button, music taste profile) to recommend the playlist for the listener. The songs are selected using 76 different musical features and raw audio information. The system uses these features to recommend and optimize recommendations for the listener

A selection of 40 audiobooks spanning 4 genres (10 each from Literary Classics, Fantasy, Mystery, Non-fiction) will be available. For each session, the participant and their caregiver will be given a prompt to make a genre selection. After making the genre selection, one of the ten stories associated with that genre will be selected at random. All stories were sampled from the Audible audiobook database. Stories had to be 30 minutes in length to align with the length of the music interventions and the selected stories had to have had a 4- or 5-star rating to ensure quality.
