Audiotactile simultaneity perception of musical-produced whole-body vibrations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Everybody has sometimes experienced the vibrations generated by the performance of music. The floor or the seat place can vibrate because of the resonance or the structureborne sound stimulated by instruments. When these vibrations are correlated with airborne sound, they are additional information for us. The correlation between vibration and airborne sound might be important in implementing, for instance, a virtual reality, to intensify the experience and the quality of it. This study investigates the required synchronism between the auditory and the tactile components. First the terms which are related to the musicalproduced whole-body vibrations will be introduced. The next step will be to report on some measurements of musical-produced vibrations. Further, the psychophysical test and the used psychophysical and statistic methods to investigate the time-depending correlations. Finally, the results are presented and discussed.

Perception of Interactive Vibrotactile Cues on the Acoustic Grand and Upright Piano
An experiment has been conducted, measuring pianists’ sensitivity to piano key vibrations at the fingers while playing an upright or a grand Yamaha Disklavier piano. At each trial, which consisted in playing loud and long A notes across the whole keyboard, vibrations were either present or absent through setting the Disklavier pianos to normal or quiet mode. Sound feedback was always provided b...
متن کاملRealignment of temporal simultaneity between vision and touch.
Adaptation to temporal asynchrony between senses (audiovisual and audiotactile) affects the subsequent simultaneity or temporal order judgment. Here, we investigated the effects of adaptation to temporal asynchrony between vision and touch. Participants experienced deformation of virtual objects with a fixed temporal lag between vision and touch. In subsequent trials, the visual and haptic stim...
متن کاملWhole - Body Vibration Recumbent Subjects - Part 2 : Effect of Vibration Perception Direction Thresholds of
This paper presents the results of laboratory experiment concerned with perception thresholds for whole-body vibration on recumbent subjects. Thresholds of subjects exposed to x-, yand z-axis sinusoidal vibration were determined for supine, prone, lying on the left side and lying on the right side subjects (from 1 to 80 Hz). It was clear that the threshold curves, as a function of frequency, ha...
متن کاملAudiotactile interaction can change over time in cochlear implant users
Recent results suggest that audiotactile interactions are disturbed in cochlear implant (CI) users. However, further exploration regarding the factors responsible for such abnormal sensory processing is still required. Considering the temporal nature of a previously used multisensory task, it remains unclear whether any aberrant results were caused by the specificity of the interaction studied ...
متن کاملImpaired perception of harmonic complexity in congenital amusia: a case study.
This study investigates whether congenital amusia (an inability to perceive music from birth) also impairs the perception of musical qualities that do not rely on fine-grained pitch discrimination. We established that G.G. (64-year-old male, age-typical hearing) met the criteria of congenital amusia and demonstrated music-specific deficits (e.g., language processing, intonation, prosody, fine-g...
