چکیده

Three experiments explored the effectiveness of continuous auditory displays, or sonifications, for conveying information about a simulated anesthetized patient's respiration. Experiment 1 established an effective respiratory sonification. Experiment 2 showed an effect of expertise in the use of respiratory sonification and revealed that some apparent differences in sonification effectiveness could be accounted for by response bias. Experiment 3 showed that sonification helps anesthesiologists to maintain high levels of awareness of the simulated patient's state while performing other tasks more effectively than when relying upon visual monitoring of the simulated patient state. Overall, sonification of patient physiology beyond traditional pulse oximetry appears to be a viable and useful adjunct to visual monitors. Actual and potential applications of this research include monitoring in a wide variety of busy critical care contexts.

Intelligibility of Sonifications for Respiratory Monitoring in Anesthesia

Three experiments explored the effectiveness of continuous auditory displays, or "sonifications", for conveying information about an anesthetized patient's respiratory state. Experiment 1 established aneffective respiratory sonification. Experiment 2 showed an effect of expertise in using respiratory sonfication and revealed that some apparent differences in sonification effectiveness could be ...

Marketbuzz: Sonification of Real-Time Financial Data

A system for the sonification of real-time financial data, currently in use by financial traders in five pilot projects, i s described. Anecdotal feedback from the pilot projects suggests that the auditory display is more effective and consistent for monitoring the movement of volatile market indices. The same system has also been tested in two experiments carried out at the Department of Psych...

Operating Theatre Patient Monitoring: The Effects of Self Paced Distracter Tasks and Experimental Control on Sonification Evaluations

Three experiments were conducted to explore the effectiveness of continuous auditory displays, or sonifications, to convey information about simulated patient physiological state in dual task trials. Participants’ patient monitoring performance under different dual task conditions was investigated to determine if anaesthetic training was required to successfully use the sonification. A patient ...

A TASK-ANALYSIS-BASED EVALUATION OF SONIFICATION DESIGNS FOR TWO sEMG TASKS

This paper presents a brief description of surface electromyography (sEMG), what it can be used for, as well as some of the problems associated with visual displays of sEMG data. Sonifications of sEMG data have shown potential for certain applications in data monitoring and movement training, however there are still challenges related to the design of these sonifications that need to be address...
