Rhythmic cues with biological variability for improving gait
In this project, the goal is to manipulate the temporal variability of rhytmic auditory cues to test its effect on gait in young adults.
Young adults will walk alone without any auditory cues and then will walk to the sounds of rhythmic sequences. The rythmic sequences will either be isochronous, random (non-biological variability) or fractal (biological variability).
The first goal of this experiment is to see whether fractal auditory cueing will foster a natural gait pattern, as compared to isochronous stimuli and random variability. The second aim is to test whether the effect of this manipulation on gait structure depends on the perception of variability. It is expected that the effect is more important when variability is perceptible (for supraliminal stimuli).
