We present an intuitive sonification of data from a statistical physics model, the XY-spin model. Topological structures (anti-/vortices) are hidden to the eye by random spin movement. The behavior of the vortices changes by crossing a phase transition as a function of the temperature. Our sonification builds on basic acoustic properties of phase modulation. Only interesting structures like ant...

were assayed for recall proliferative response to OVA 323-339. Emulsions prepared by either the dual-syringe or sonification method stimulated a strong T-cell response, as demonstrated by the ex vivo proliferation assay. A likelihood ratio test indicated a stronger immunization with the sonified emulsion transferred by the method outlined above than with the emulsion prepared by the dual-syring...

Spatialization can be used in sonification as an additional mapping dimension. Immersive spatialization also transmits more auditory data to a subject, compared to monophonic or stereophonic presentation. In this study the VBAP spatialization method is applied to the sonification of meteorological data gathered from a large geographical area in two different listening conditions. Parameter-driv...

This paper presents the results of experiments with sonification of 2D and 3D time dependent data. A number of sonification means for these experiments have been implemented. An Internet Web site was created where sound sequences were presented and could be evaluated by the participants in the experiment. All participants that performed the tests also needed to fill an evaluation questionnaire....

The Applications in Musical Sonification (AIMS) project is dedicated to creative experiments in musical sonification. It studies sonification in the context of algorithmic composition, focusing on the design and implementation of these experiments in software. An initial distribution of cross-platform, open-source software is now freely available that implements some basic mappings, including h...

This chapter give a broad introduction to sonification, and discusses the guiding theoretical considerations for sonification researchers and designers. It brings in many of the insights from relevant domains of research, and offers areas where future researchers could answer unresolved questions or make fruitful clarifications or qualifications to the field. While the chapter stands on its own...

This paper proposes a design for a generalized sonification environment (“SonEnvir”) that aims to be flexible, easily extensible, and practically useful for researchers from many scientific domains (target fields) that deal with data analysis and exploration. SonEnvir is intended to allow for very quick development of new sonification designs, based on a library of existing sound processes that...

This paper presents a study in the framework of the ISHT – Interior sound design of high-speed trains project. During a train journey between the cities of Stockholm and Gävle, Sweden, 9 travellers participated in a listening experiment to evaluate the use of sonification to convey nonspeech based information about the travel. We tested sonification for communicating the distance between two st...

This paper describes a sonification approach of multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) steady-state responses (SSR). The main purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of sonification as an analytic tool for SSR. The proposed sonification approach aims to observe the spatial property (i.e. location of strong brain activities) and temporal property (i.e. synchrony of wave forms ac...
