[AUDITORY] Call for participation in an online auditory perception study



Dear list,

The Computational Neuroscience and [Intelligent] Signal Processing (NECOTIS) research group of the University of Sherbrooke, (Quebec, Canada) is looking for participants for an online auditory perception study.

This study is part of Louis Commère's doctoral research project under the supervision of Professor Jean Rouat of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His project is to build a sensory substitution system that transforms a visual scene into sound.

The study is conducted to determine Just Noticeable Difference of different sound categories. The experiment lasts between 25 and 35 minutes and results are completely anonymous. During the experiment, you will have to compare pairs of sounds that are played one after the other.

Unfortunately, people who are hard of hearing (https://www.nad.org/resources/american-sign-language/community-and-culture-frequently-asked-questions/) or wear hearing aids or prostheses cannot participate in the experiment. Moreover the experiment has to be completed with headphones so you should have one at your disposition. Also, the experiment requires the use of the Google chrome web browser.

If you are interested in this experiment and meet the criteria, you can access the experiment here: LINK FOR THE EXPERIMENT. Please follow carefully the instructions that are given during the experiment.  


For technical reasons, it is not possible to save the information when the experiment is finished. We therefore ask participants to upload the csv result file to OneDrive at this address: https://usherbrooke-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/coml2503_usherbrooke_ca/EjWZZx_cSrtEqwF0dlZxVqcBVQo8Juu2dfCrltoiDrWjww?e=jPLIOc.

Your participation in this study will contribute to the improvement of sensory substitution systems using depth sensors.

Thank you very much for your participation!
