Perceptually congruent sonification of auditory line charts

Introduction to the special issue on design and perception of interactive sonification

“…Joe Fitzpatrick & Flaithri Neff [13] propose to consider principles of auditory perception in terms of psychoacoustics and auditory scene analysis to produce Perceptually Congruent Sonification (PerCS). Even though PerCS did not significantly improve measured performance or subjective difficulty interpreting auditory line charts, their guidelines certainly help sonification designers choose perceptually meaningful parameters and ranges that may improve interpretability in more complex sonification scenarios.…”
