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 ...

The treatment of gait disorders or impairments is one major challenge in physical therapy. The broad and fast development in low-cost, miniaturized and wireless sensing technologies supported the development of embedded ...

We propose a real-time, interactive system for smile recognition and sonification using surface electromyography (EMG) signals. When a user smiles, a sound is played. The surface EMG signal is mapped to pitch using a ...

For the last two decades, research on auditory displays and sonification has continuously increased. However, most research has focused on cognitive and functional mapping rather than emotional mapping. Moreover, there ...

We have developed the SoProMon process monitoring system to evaluate how real-time sonifications can increase awareness of process states and to support the detection and resolving of critical process situations. Our ...

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 ...

Collaborations between artists, engineers, and scientists often occur when creating new media works. These interdisciplinary efforts must overcome the ideals and practical-limitations inherent in both artistic and research ...

Data sonification is the representation of data using sound. Although data sonification has been a subject of research for the last fifteen years, much remains to be learned about how data should be mapped to sound, what ...

We present a method for sonification of data sets located in spatial environments in such a way that both individual point sources and overviews of larger data areas can be observed.

This paper describes a general methodological framework for evaluating the perceptual properties of auditory stimuli. The framework provides analysis techniques that can ensure the effective use of sound for a variety of ...
