    • 1/F Noise and Auditory Aesthetics: Sonification of a Driven Bead Pile 

      Winters, R Michael (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      “1=f noise” describes the behavior of many naturally occurring complex dynamical systems over time. Perhaps more surprising than its ubiquity in nature is its prevalence in speech and especially music. Current research ...

    • Ambisonic Spatialization for Networked Music Performance 

      Gurevich, Michael; Donohoe, Donal; Bertet, Stephanie (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      In spite of recent widespread interest in network technologies for real-time musical collaboration between distant locations, there has been little focus on spatial audio in such applications. We discuss the potential ...

    • Auditory Display as an Aid for Prosthetic Hand Manipulation: Preliminary Results 

      Gonzalez, Jose; Yu, Wenwei (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      Upper limb amputees have to rely extensively on visual feedback in order to monitor and manipulate successfully their prosthetic device. This situation leads to high consciousness burden, which generates fatigue and ...

    • Auditory Recognition of Floor Surfaces by Temporal and Spectral Cues of Walking 

      Fontana, Federico; Morreale, Fabio; Regia-Corte, Tony; Lecuyer, Anatole; Marchal, Maud (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      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, ...

    • Chronoroom Clock: Peripheral Time Awareness Through Sound Localization 

      Zoon, Hanna; Bakker, Saskia; Eggen, Berry (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      Our auditory perception skills enable us to selectively place one auditory channel in the center of our attention while monitoring others in the periphery. Furthermore, we are able to accurately localize sound sources. In ...

    • Comprehending Synthetically Accelerated Speech: The Relationship Between Performance and Self-confidence 

      Wasylyshyn, Christina; Brock, Derek; McClimens, Brian (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      The present study examines the ability to comprehend speech presented at synthetically accelerated rates in an auditory display environment. We sought to determine whether listeners could accurately predict their own ...

    • A DATA SONIFICATION APPROACH TO COGNITIVE STATE IDENTIFICATION 

      Gomez, Imanol; Ramirez, Rafael (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      The study of human brain functions has dramatically increased greatly due to the advent of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), arguably the best technique for observing human brain activity that is currently ...

    • Guiding Divers with Sound 

      Tiuraniemi, Maria-Karoliina (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      Dive computers can be used to instruct the diver during the dive. The alarms in this study consisted of a long, repetitive Alerting sound of High or Low priority followed by a shorter Informative sound representing the ...

    • Harmony of the Spheres: Cosmology and Number Aesthetics in 16th and 20th Century Music for Viola da Gamba 

      Grimm, Giso; Bracher, Claire; Frey, Laura; Veto, Julia; Harders, Claas (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      Harmony of the Spheres is a concert programme based on cosmology during the renaissance. Historic philosophical and astronomical concepts from ancient Greece until the modern age are accessed through the music of the 16th ...

    • The Immersive Audio Environment - Implementation, Subjective Test, and Results 

      Shah, Pratik; Faza, Ayman; Nimmala, Raghavendra; Grant, Steven; Chapin, William (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      The effectiveness of virtual environments depends largely on how efficiently they recreate the real world. In the case of auditory virtual environments, the importance of accurate recreation is enhanced since there are no ...

    • Interactive Auditory Display to Support Situational Awareness in Video Surveillance 

      Hoferlin, Benjamin; Hoferlin, Markus; Michael, Raschke; Heidemann, Gunther; Weiskopf, Daniel (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      A key element for efficient video surveillance is situational awareness. Characteristics of human perception (e.g., inattentional blindness) as well as surveillance practice (e.g., CCTV operators have multiple responsibilities) ...

    • Interactive Sonification Monitoring in Evolutionary Optimization 

      Grond, Florian; Kramer, Oliver; Hermann, Thomas (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)

    • A method for developing an improved mapping model for data sonification 

      Worrall, David (International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)
      The unreliable detection of information in sonifications of multivariate data that employ parameter mapping is generally thought to be the result of the co-dependency of psychoacoustic dimensions. The method described ...
