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, ...

Acoustic feedback offers promising opportunities to enhance the perception of athletes in regards of the modification of movement patterns and control in technique training. Sound conveys time-critical structures that are ...

To date, scientific data analysis is almost exclusively conducted through the visual modality, though the perceptual benefits of multi-modal stimulation are well known [1]. Visualization tools utilize parameters such ...

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 ...

As an applicaton of sonification, a simulation of the early uni- verse was developed to portray the phase transition that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. The Standard Model of particle physics postulates that a ...

In user interfaces, redundancy is often an indication of good design. Several studies [1,2,3], showed that when visual, haptic or other display types were combined with an auditory display, the result was an enhanced user ...

Different evaluation approaches have been taken within the field of sonification. This paper introduces methods of the multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) to the field. Different stakeholders are taken into account. In ...

This paper presents a study undertaken to evaluate user ratings on auditory feedback of sound source selection within a multi-track auditory environment where sound placement is controlled by a gesture control system. ...

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 ...

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 ...
