BSONIQ: A 3-D EEG Sound Installation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Brain Computer Interface (BCI) methods have received a lot of attention in the past several decades, owing to the exciting possibility of computer-aided communication with the outside world. Most BCIs allow users to ... -
Challenges and Constraints of Using Audio in Online Music Education
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Several online music courses have been developed lately by educational companies. In addition, many universities have been offering music online degree programs. Since these courses and programs are taught through ... -
A Comparison between the Efficacy of Task-Based Vs. Data-Based sEMG Sonification Designs
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Historically, many sonification designs that have been used for data analysis purposes have been based on data characteristics and have not been explicitly based on the listener’s task. These sonification designs have ... -
Computational Designing for Auditory Environments
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)This paper is a call for sonification designers to adapt their representational practices from that of designing objects for auditory engagement to the construction of systems of formally described relationships that ... -
Did You Feel That? Developing Novel Multimodal Alarms for High Consequence Clinical Environments
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Hospitals are overwhelmingly filled with sounds produced by alarms and patient monitoring devices. Consequently, these sounds create a fatiguing and stressful environment for both patients and clinicians. As an attempt ... -
EchoExplorer: A Game App for Understanding Echolocation and Learning to Navigate Using Echo Cues
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Echolocation -- the ability to detect objects in space through the perception of echoes from these objects -- has been identified as a promising venue to help visually impaired individuals navigate within their environments. ... -
Empirically Informed Sound Synthesis Application for Enhancing the Perception of Expressive Robotic Movement
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Since people often communicate internal states and intentions through movement, robots can better interact with humans if they too can modify their movements to communicate changing state. These movements, which may be ... -
Evaluating Two Ways to Train Sensitivity to Echoes to Improve Echolocation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)We investigated whether training sighted individuals to attend to information in echoes could improve their active echolocation ability. We evaluated two training techniques that involved artificially generated sounds. Both ... -
Frequency-Selective Silencing Device for Digital Filtering of Audible Medical Alarm Sounds to Enhance ICU Patient Recovery
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Free-field auditory medical alarms, although widely present in intensive care units, have created many hazards for both patients and clinicians in this environment. The harsh characteristics of the alarm noise profile ... -
From Program Music to Sonification: Representation and the Evolution of Music and Language
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Research into the origins of music and language can shed new light on musical representation, including program music and more recent incarnations such as data sonification. Although sonification and program music have ... -
How Do People Think They Remember Melodies and Timbres? Phenomenological Reports of Memory for Nonverbal Sounds
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Memory for nonverbal sounds such as those used in sonifications has been recognized as a priority for cognitiveperceptual research in the field of auditory display. Yet memory processes for nonverbal sounds are not ... -
Human and Machine Listening of Seismic Data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Geothermal energy mining consists of injecting cold water into hot rocks in order to create micro-fractures allowing heat to be extracted and converted into electrical energy. This water injection can trigger several ... -
Illustrating Trends in Nitrogen Oxides Across the United States Using Sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Leveraging the human auditory system, sonification can be used as an educational tool for non-experts to engage with data in a different mode than visualization. Without oversimplifying the data, this project presents ... -
An Immersive Virtual Environment for Congruent Audio-Visual Spatialized Data Sonifications
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)The use of spatialization techniques in data sonification provides system designers with an additional tool for conveying information to users. Oftentimes, spatialized data sets are meant to be experienced by a single ... -
Influences of Visual and Auditory Displays on Aimed Movements Using Air Gesture Controls
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)With the proliferation of technologies operated via in-air hand movements, e.g. virtual/augmented reality, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and large public information displays, there remains an open question about ... -
