Episode: Practical Uses of Event Markers in Physical Activity and Sleep Studies – Dr. Olli Tikkanen (Pt3)
Description: "How do event markers enhance accelerometer data for research?"
In this episode of the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, Dr. Olli Tikkanen explains the importance of event markers in accelerometer-based research. He introduces the event marker feature in the Fibion G2, a simple button that participants can press to timestamp specific activities, adding real-world context to raw data. This feature enhances data accuracy and clarity by linking accelerometer signals to specific events such as sleep transitions, exercise, or work hours, making it easier to analyze participant behavior.
Dr. Tikkanen shares practical applications of event markers, including...
