Computer scientists have developed a method that automatically composes music out of sleep measurements. The composition service works live on the Web at sleepmusicalization.net.

Developed under Hannu Toivonen, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, the software automatically composes synthetic music using data related to a person’s own sleep as input.

The composition program is the work of Aurora Tulilaulu, a student.

Dr. Simon Rogers is a HIIT Visiting Professor during the month of August. Dr. Rogers works as a lecturer in the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow. His research focuses on machine learning and statistical inference predominantly within the fields of computational biology and multimodal interaction.
