Description

Technical Field

[0003] In current vocal music teaching, existing technical means mainly focus on the analysis and processing of sound signals. Specifically, these technologies usually collect students' singing voices through professional audio recording equipment, and then use audio analysis software to perform detailed analysis and processing of the sound signals. This process includes sound signal filtering, noise reduction, spectrum analysis, pitch detection and other links, aiming to extract key parameters related to singing performance, such as volume, pitch, timbre, resonance effect, etc. Based on these analysis results, teachers can provide targeted guidance and improvement to students' singing skills.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The physiological data is collected by wrapping optical fiber sensors around the muscle groups of the neck and larynx to sense muscle deformation and tension changes.

[0026] The fiber optic sensor is specifically a special fiber optic sensor made based on the fiber Bragg grating principle. The core component is a specially treated optical fiber with periodically distributed refractive index modulation areas in the core to form a Bragg grating. The outer layer of the fiber optic sensor is made of biocompatible material that fits human skin to ensure that it does not cause irritation or discomfort to the singer's skin during long-term wearing. The internal optical fiber is encapsulated to ensure high sensitivity to tiny muscle deformations and tension changes, and has good flexibility to adapt to the complex movements of the neck and throat muscles.

Because it is based on optical signal transmission, it is minimally affected by electromagnetic interference and can work stably in complex electronic equipment environments. Moreover, it can measure the dynamic changes of muscles with extremely high precision, and can be accurate to deformation at the micron level. For example, when the laryngeal muscles produce extremely subtle contractions or relaxations during the phonation process, the Bragg grating period in the fiber optic sensor will change accordingly, causing the wavelength of the reflected light to change. Through high-precision wavelength demodulation equipment, this wavelength change can be accurately converted into muscle deformation and tension data, providing extremely reliable and accurate data support for subsequent analysis of muscle movement during phonation.
