Biotuner: A python toolbox integrating music theory and signal processing for harmonic analysis of physiological and natural time series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Biotuner Toolbox is an open-source Python toolbox for biosignals that integrates concepts from neuroscience, music theory, and signal processing. It introduces a harmonic perspective on physiological oscillations by applying musical constructs such as consonance, rhythm, and scale construction.

Methods

The core biotuner_object processes neural, cardiac, and auditory time series, providing a unified interface for extracting spectral peaks, computing harmonicity metrics, and supporting downstream analyses. Companion modules extend harmonic analyses across temporal (time-resolved harmonicity), spatial (harmonic connectivity), and spectral (harmonic spectrum) dimensions.

Results

Biotuner identifies harmonic structure across different biosignals, revealing s
