MICRO - Norwegian Championship of Standstill Data, 2015

Data from the 2015 Norwegian Championship of Standstill, as part of Research Council of Norway's MICRO project. RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time, and Motion, University of Oslo. This data set contains head movement data (in units of mm) recorded from a Qualisys motion capture system at 100Hz. Data were collected at the University of Oslo on March 12th 2015 from a total of 108 participants. Code to read and process these files is available. The Nordic Championship of Standstill is a competition in which the participants stand still for seven minutes, with and without music. The competition is part of the research project MICRO - Human Bodily Micromotion in Music Perception and Interaction. The aim is to understand more about how music influences human body motion. We do not know very much about the smallest motion in the body, what we call micromotion. We study such micromotion by looking at how people stand still, both with and without music.
