Evaluating apparatus for musification of P. berghei micro-organism motility with synchronous 3D holography

This paper describes the motivation behind the adoption of a musification approach to the auditory display of flagella movement (specifically, malaria in the form of P. berghei) as shown in high resolution 3D holography. The criteria applied to the data mapping process in order to achieve this musification are also described, with an approach to spatialization in order to represent three dimensional movement in the data in a soundfield. Details regarding the mapping are illustrated in relation to the different phases of the movement of the flagella. The results are then discussed, noting that adopting a musification approach might help to produce a more engaging audience experience whilst also working towards expressive solutions that might be useful when modeling other complex biomedical data or processes.
