The Science of Phase Space Sonification

Standard physiological monitors use flat, continuous auditory beeps that convey very little information beyond heart rate. This platform introduces a real-time coordinate-to-binaural sonification engine, mapping Cartesian coordinate vectors directly into stereo soundscapes using the high-performance Web Audio API.

Rather than running isolated audio signals, Channel A (horizontal $X$ vector) and Channel B (vertical $Y$ vector) are synthesized as independent warm **triangle waves**, routed through low-pass filters to emulate pleasant, analog textures. Their frequencies, volumes, and stereo positions are modulated dynamically on every single frame. This dual-sensory feedback loop allows clinical researchers to hear synchronization patterns, wave travel delays, and signal anomalies.

Dynamic Panning, Volumes, and Textures

The audiological feedback is driven by three core mathematical relationships linked to the visual plotter:

Spatial Stereo Panning: The sound's position in your headphones tracks the actual location of the visual dot. When signals are in phase (drawing a diagonal line), the audio sits centered. When phase delay opens the loop, the sound physically orbits around your head, indicating phase shift through spatial stereo rotation.
Waveform Amplitude Modulation: Sound volume (gain) dynamically tracks signal deflections. ECG sweeps swell exactly during ventricular contractions (QRS complexes), creating realistic cardiac chirps instead of steady drones.
Micro-Jitter Timbre: Under EEG and seizure modes, frequencies are modulated with a tiny fraction of random jitter, turning sterile laboratory sine waves into organic, textured brainwave hums.

Clinical Vectorcardiograms & Conduction Delays

Standard time-domain ECG charts can hide serious cardiac electrical conduction issues if the delay is very short. By utilizing the Subtle ECG Conduction Delay preset, the physical benefit of phase-space mapping is demonstrated:

In the right-hand panel, both ECG channels appear perfectly aligned to the human eye. However, because we have fixed the phase calculations, the tiny 0.15 radian delay between channels causes the Lissajous plot on the left to immediately balloon into an open loop. This provides an instant visual and acoustic profile of a micro-conduction delay (mimicking an early bundle branch block) that would be easily missed on a scrolling time-domain monitor.

Decoding Synchronous and Asynchronous Seizures

The EEG seizure presets illustrate the distinct spatial differences between unified brainwaves and focal anomalies:

EEG Spike Seizure (Standard): Under this preset, the rhythmic 3Hz seizure spikes and underlying slow waves are perfectly synchronized. This draws a clean, highly repetitive diagonal vector on the screen, indicating massive, symmetrical cellular recruitment.
Asynchronous Seizure Spikes: This preset represents a focal asymmetry where the background brain waves remain identical and in-sync, but the high-voltage spikes fire slightly out of sync. In the time domain, they look like standard seizure activity, but the coordinate plot immediately splits. You hear the slow background wave hum in the center of your head, while the out-of-sync spikes pull the audio sharply out of center.
