The Sound of One Arm Swinging: a Model for Multidimensional Auditory Display of Physical Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel approach to the sonification of complex human movement. As a specific model we examine the golf swing, of which two components, the velocity of the club head and the relative rotation of shoulders with respect to the hips (the X-factor [1]) are considered as two critical factors [2]. We map these dimensions to independent resonant filters to simulate vowel like formants. We consider other methods of sonification and illustrate the advantages of using vowel sounds. This sonification creates an auditory mapping that may prove useful in mastering and improving a golfer’s swing and can be generalized for sonification of complex temporal data.

Selective deficits in human audition: evidence from lesion studies
The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...

متن کاملArm motion coupling during locomotion-like actions: an experimental study and a dynamic model.
We studied the coordination of arm movements in standing persons who performed an out-of-phase arm-swinging task while stepping in place or while standing. The subjects were instructed to stop one of the arms in response to an auditory signal while trying to keep the rest of the movement pattern unchanged. A significant increase was observed in the amplitude of the arm that continued swinging u...
متن کاملPsychophysical Calibration for Controlling the Range of a Virtual Sound Source: Multidimensional Complexity in Spatial Auditory Display
Just as control over perceived azimuth and elevation of a virtual sound source should be psychophysically calibrated in spatial auditory display, so should perceived range; however, in contrast to azimuth and elevation display, precise control over auditory range has been difficult to achieve. This is partly due to the multidimensional complexity of the human response to spatial auditory stimul...
متن کاملVisual motion disambiguation by a subliminal sound.
There is growing interest in the effect of sound on visual motion perception. One model involves the illusion created when two identical objects moving towards each other on a two-dimensional visual display can be seen to either bounce off or stream through each other. Previous studies show that the large bias normally seen toward the streaming percept can be modulated by the presentation of an...
