“…Then scientists selected the auditory cues that appeared to be the most relevant for recognizing and discriminating movement features (Cottrell & Campbell, 2014; Justen, Herbert, Werner, & Raab, 2014; Murgia et al, 2012). Following these lines of research, several experimental protocols were developed for testing changes in motor capabilities by applying enactive sounds (Turchet, Camponogara, Nardello, Zamparo, & Cesari, 2017) and results revealed how athletes, through action‐related sound recognition, develop their ability in anticipating actions performed by others (Camponogara et al, 2017) and predicting the outcome of an action (Cañal‐Bruland, Müller, Lach, & Spence, 2018). Furthermore researchers investigated how auditory stimuli affected the production of complex movements in sport and rehabilitation (Camponogara, Turchet, Carner, Marchioni, & Cesari, 2016; Schaffert et al, 2019; Sors, Prpic, et al, 2018 for an overview) by pointing out the relevance of self‐generated movement sounds in various sport situations by coupling action with perception (Sors, Murgia, Santoro, & Agostini, 2015 for a review).…”

Purpose of the study was to quantify the importance of auditory feedback for movement precision in elevated rowing task difficulty with elite athletes under normal and masked hearing conditions. It was hypothesized that rowing with masked hearing would reduce the precision of movement, particularly at the non-usual/less-preferred stroke frequencies (SF). Selfreported questionnaires helped to understand the difficulty of the task. Twenty rowers completed 2 × 1000 m-distanceblocks, each separated into 4 × 250 m, with increasing SF 18, 20, 22 24 strokes/minute once with normal and once with masked hearing. Precision was determined as the deviation between the SF target and the SF actually performed (DSF). Athletes' subjective perception was requested before and after the experiment. A 2 (hearing condition) × 4 (SF 18, 20, 22, 24) repeated measures ANOVA showed systematically larger DSF during masked hearing for all SFs compared to the DSF in the normal hearing condition (p < .01). Further, the highest DSFs were found for SF 18 and 24 in both hearing conditions (no interaction effect). The athletes' perception of the relevance of natural movement sounds for their rowing performance changed when evaluated before and after the experiment. Rowing without hearing was evaluated as mentally more demanding than physically. The results confirmed our initial assumptions and showed the relevance of natural auditory information for movement precision in rowing practice, even at a high level of expertise.

“…We used a treadmill to measure the friction force when walking at 1.0, 2.5, and 4.0 km/h. 4.0 km/h is the speed that is generally self-selected when walking without any constraints on a flat surface, and is also used in the study of displaying footstep sounds [27]. Other speeds (i.e.…”

Most existing locomotion devices that represent the sensation of walking target a user who is actually performing a walking motion. Here, we attempted to represent the walking sensation, especially a kinesthetic sensation and advancing feeling (the sense of moving forward) while the user remains seated. To represent the walking sensation using a relatively simple device, we focused on the force rendering and its evaluation of the longitudinal friction force applied on the sole during walking. Based on the measurement of the friction force applied on the sole during actual walking, we developed a novel friction force display that can present the friction force without the influence of body weight. Using performance evaluation testing, we found that the proposed method can stably and rapidly display friction force. Also, we developed a virtual reality (VR) walk-through system that is able to present the friction force through the proposed device according to the avatar's walking motion in a virtual world. By evaluating the realism, we found that the proposed device can represent a more realistic advancing feeling than vibration feedback.

“…To gain a coherent perception of the environment during locomotion and be able to rapidly trigger appropriate behavior, the brain must encode incoming external cues and integrate them with one's own motion. For example, humans integrate incoming sounds with locomotion during simple walking, as manifested by the modification of walking pace based on auditory feedback [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Moreover, auditory feedback has been shown to improve walking in aged patients and those with neurodegenerative disorders [7][8][9].…”

The ability to process and act upon incoming sounds during locomotion is critical for survival and adaptive behavior. Despite the established role that the auditory cortex (AC) plays in behavior- and context-dependent sound processing, previous studies have found that auditory cortical activity is on average suppressed during locomotion as compared to immobility. While suppression of auditory cortical responses to self-generated sounds results from corollary discharge, which weakens responses to predictable sounds, the functional role of weaker responses to unpredictable external sounds during locomotion remains unclear. In particular, whether suppression of external sound-evoked responses during locomotion reflects reduced involvement of the AC in sound processing or whether it results from masking by an alternative neural computation in this state remains unresolved. Here, we tested the hypothesis that rather than simple inhibition, reduced sound-evoked responses during locomotion reflect a tradeoff with the emergence of explicit and reliable coding of locomotion velocity. To test this hypothesis, we first used neural inactivation in behaving mice and found that the AC plays a critical role in sound-guided behavior during locomotion. To investigate the nature of this processing, we used two-photon calcium imaging of local excitatory auditory cortical neural populations in awake mice. We found that locomotion had diverse influences on activity of different neurons, with a net suppression of baseline-subtracted sound-evoked responses and neural stimulus detection, consistent with previous studies. Importantly, we found that the net inhibitory effect of locomotion on baseline-subtracted sound-evoked responses was strongly shaped by elevated ongoing activity that compressed the response dynamic range, and that rather than reflecting enhanced “noise,” this ongoing activity reliably encoded the animal’s locomotion speed. Decoding analyses revealed that locomotion speed and sound are robustly co-encoded by auditory cortical ensemble activity. Finally, we found consistent patterns of joint coding of sound and locomotion speed in electrophysiologically recorded activity in freely moving rats. Together, our data suggest that rather than being suppressed by locomotion, auditory cortical ensembles explicitly encode it alongside sound information to support sound perception during locomotion.
