A Quantitative Evaluation Approach to Sonifications
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the area of explorative data analysis, the domain scientists of the field are included in the process in addition to sonification experts. The method allows to compare different sonification designs of the same or different data sets quantitatively. This enables the sonification designer to evaluate the sonification design objectively and draw conclusions on which kind of sonification is appropriate for the end user.

Prototyping a method for the assessment of real-time EEG sonifications
This paper presents a first step in the development of a methodology to compare the ability of different sonifications to convey the fine temporal detail of the Electroencephalography (EEG) brainwave signal in real time. In EEG neurofeedback a person‟s EEG activity is monitored and presented back to them, to help them to learn how to modify their brain activity. Learning theory suggests that th...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملSonifying Every Day: Activating Everyday Interactions for Ambient Sonification Systems
Ambient information systems have been investigated widely in the visual modality, but ambient sonification systems are rare and investigation is limited by comparison with ambient visualisations. However, the auditory modality is well-suited to the task of interpreting quantitative information communicated through sonification, while not requiring interruption to the user’s current actions, as ...
متن کاملEmpirical Aesthetic Evaluation of Sonifications
This paper discusses three experiments on the aesthetic evaluation of different sonifications. The effects of training and understanding of the auditory display on its aesthetic appealing were tested. Results showed no significant effect, but a trend towards less acceptance due to longer exposure to the sounds in general. Furthermore, there might be effects of musical ability and gender that sh...
متن کاملEnd-user Development of Sonifications Using Soundscapes
Designing sonifications requires knowledge in many domains including sound design, sonification design, and programming. Thus end users typically do not create sonifications on their own, but instead work with sonification experts to iteratively co-design their systems. However, once a sonification system is deployed there is little a user can do to make adjustments. In this work, we present an...
