Subject: Web-based study on congruency of sounds and scenes - try it! From: Brian Gygi <bgygi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 21:49:44 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>----=_vm_0011_W2921222552_26446_1190929784 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Fellow Auditory List members: As part of my research into the influence of auditory context (i.e. natur= al background scenes, such as streets or restaurants) on the perception o= f individual environmental sounds, I would like to get some assessment of= which sounds are congruent with which scenes, that is, which sounds are = likely to occur in a particular context. So I have set up a simple Web-ba= sed study in which you hear a sound and then a scene and you rate the lik= elihood of that sound occurring in that scene on a scale from 1-7. It is = simple, fun (I think, but then I'm easily amused) and should take about 2= 5 minutes. If you need to, you can stop and pick it up again at a later p= oint. These data will be very useful to me, I and hope you will take part in th= is study. And feel free to tell your friends. There are no limitations as= far as age, gender, native language or hearing impairment. You choose a = user name that will be used during testing, so there will be total anonym= ity. To take part, go to http://www.ebire.org/earlab/login.php And follow the on-screen instructions. If you have any problems or questi= ons, please feel free to contact me at bgygi@xxxxxxxx I thank in advance all who will take part in this.
