Group I: Music ListeningExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Music Intervention - Music selection by LUCID The AI-based system for song selection responds to the collected measurement data (video and HRV) and music preference information (like/dislike button, music taste profile) to recommend the playlist for the listener. The songs are selected using 76 different musical features and raw audio information. The system uses these features to recommend and optimize recommendations for the listener. The video is only temporarily streamed from the device to extract a series of facial features to assist in music selection. This data stream is sent to the LUCID cloud platform via encrypted data in transit protocol; the facial features are extracted, and the video is deleted. The facial feature data, even when reconstructed, is not identifiable. No personally identifiable biometric measures are stored in LUCID servers at any time

Group II: AudiobooksActive Control2 Interventions

Audiobook selection A selection of 40 audiobooks spanning 4 genres (10 each from Literary Classics, Fantasy, Mystery, Non-fiction) will be available. For each session, the participant and their caregiver will be given a prompt to make a genre selection. After making the genre selection, one of the ten stories associated with that genre will be selected at random. All stories were sampled from the Audible audiobook database. Stories had to be 30 minutes in length to align with the length of the music interventions and the selected stories had to have had a 4- or 5-star rating to ensure quality.
