This paper presents a first step in the development of a methodology to compare the ability of different sonifications to convey the fine temporal detail of the Electroencephalography (EEG) brainwave signal in real time. ...

The menu is an important interface component, which appears unlikely to be completely superseded by modern search-based approaches. For someone who is unable to attend a screen visually, however, alternative non-visual ...

3D binaural sounds play an important role in the development of navigational systems for the blind people. The use of generic HRTFs in virtual auditory displays significantly affects the acoustic spatial resolution and ...

When developing new devices for assistive technology, it is important to consider auditory response times to different kinds of warning and navigational sounds. Perception, processing and action following the presentation ...

This paper presents a set of real-time sonifications of heart rate variability in the context of biofeedback. The objective of the study is to explore new ways in providing biofeedback information rather than the typical ...

ECG (electrocardiography) consists of a few components and features that indicate the details of electrical conduction in each part of the heart. The simple pitch-mapping sonification of ECG cannot indicate these components ...

Recordings of the Earth’s surface oscillation (seismograms) can be sonified such that most of the signal’s frequency spectrum falls in the audible range. Then, the pattern-recognition capabilities of the human auditory ...

Every presentation has to end at some point. Signaling the approaching end of the presentation time in conferences is often accomplished by showing signs with the remaining time written on it, i.e., by visual contact. ...

Chemical spectra are an important part of how research chemists analyse the outcomes of experiments. However these complex spectra can be very difficult and time consuming to analyse. This paper outlines an investigation ...

In a multiple choice auditory experimental task, listeners had to discriminate walks over floors made of concrete, wood, gravel, or dried twigs. Sound stimuli were obtained by mixing temporal and spectral signal components, ...
