1. A method for generating music, comprising:
- receiving a rhythm signal corresponding to a rhythm of a cyclic physiological activity of a user, the physiological activity having first and second activity phases thereof;
analyzing the rhythm signal to determine first and second durations thereof, respectively corresponding to the first and second activity phases;
determining first and second new durations responsive to desired changes of the first and second durations of the rhythm signal;
generating responsive to the new durations a music signal for presentation to the user, the music signal having first and second music phases thereof respectively corresponding to the first and second activity phases, a duration of each of the music phases expressible as being approximately equal to an integer multiple of a base duration, the integer multiple being less than or equal to four; and
directing the user to modify durations of the first and second activity phases responsive to the respective durations of the first and second music phases.

Abstract
Apparatus for improving health of a user is provided, including a first sensor, adapted to measure a first physiological variable, which is indicative of a voluntary action of the user. A second sensor is adapted to measure a second physiological variable, which is substantially governed by an autonomic nervous system of the user. Circuitry is adapted to receive respective first and second sensor signals from the first and second sensors, and, responsive thereto, to generate an output signal which directs the user to modify a parameter of the voluntary action.

9. A method for generating music, comprising:
-
receiving a rhythm signal corresponding to a rhythm of a cyclic physiological activity of a user; analyzing the rhythm signal to determine a pattern thereof; determining a new pattern responsive to a desired change of the pattern of the rhythm signal; generating, responsive to the new pattern, a music signal for presentation to the user; determining, responsive to a characteristic of the new pattern, a set of music layers to include in the music signal, the layers having notes, such that the notes of one of the layers are played at a generally faster rate than the notes of another one of the layers; and directing the user to modify the rhythm of the physiological activity responsive to the music signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
