“…Huang et al [44,45] and Siem et al [46,47] carried out a series of studies looking at passive learning (i.e. learning without conscious attention) of tasks involving sequential key presses, such as typing or playing piano melodies.…”

“…A study demonstrated that passive learning with audio and haptics combined was significantly more effective than audio only. A more recent study [47] involved passively training both hands simultaneously with material that was monophonic in the right hand but included simple repeating two note chords in the left hand. This work demonstrated that users may learn to play tunes for both left and right hand's tunes at once via passive haptic learning.…”

“…Different locations have different advantages for different applications. For example, as noted earlier, the tension-based system by Yamakazi et al [40] allows clear communication through the chest of highly detailed bass vibrations, whereas Lewiston [43], Huang et al [44,45] and Siem et al [46,47] focus on individual fingers, and the Haptic Bracelets focus primarily on the limbs. MuSS-bits by contrast emphasises flexibility in choice of body locations for its wireless sensor-display pairs.…”

This chapter considers the use of haptics for learning fundamental rhythm skills, including skills that depend on multi-limb coordination. Different sensory modalities have different strengths and weaknesses for the development of skills related to rhythm. For example, vision has low temporal resolution and performs poorly for tracking rhythms in real time, whereas hearing is highly accurate. However, in the case of multi-limbed rhythms, neither hearing nor sight is particularly well suited to communicating exactly which limb does what and when, or how the limbs coordinate. By contrast, haptics can work especially well in this area, by applying haptic signals independently to each limb. We review relevant theories, including embodied interaction and biological entrainment. We present a range of applications of the Haptic Bracelets, which are computer-controlled wireless vibrotactile devices, one attached to each wrist and ankle. Haptic pulses are used to guide users in playing rhythmic patterns that require multi-limb coordination. One immediate aim of the system is to support the development of practical rhythm skills and multilimb coordination. A longer-term goal is to aid the development of a wider range of fundamental rhythm skills including recognising, identifying, memorising, retaining, analysing, reproducing, coordinating, modifying and creating rhythms-particularly multi-stream (i.e. polyphonic) rhythmic sequences. Empirical results are presented.

“…This technique is made possible by wearable computers, which apply the instructional tactile stimuli. Research on teaching Braille and piano using PHL has revealed that sequences of keys can be taught with this technique [16,17]; however, it remains unproven as to whether information on rhythm can be conveyed passively.…”

Passive Haptic Learning (PHL) is the acquisition of sensorimotor skills with little or no active attention to learning. This technique is facilitated by wearable computing, and applications are diverse. However, it is not known whether rhythmbased information can be conveyed passively. In a 12 participant study, we investigate whether Morse code, a rhythmbased text entry system, can be learned through PHL using the bone conduction transducer on Google Glass. After four hours of exposure to passive stimuli while focusing their attention on a distraction task, PHL participants achieved a 94% accuracy rate keying a pangram (a phrase with all the letters of the alphabet) using Morse code on Glass's trackpad versus 53% for the control group. Most PHL participants achieved 100% accuracy before the end of the study. In written tests, PHL participants could write the codes for each letter of the alphabet with 98% accuracy versus 59% for control. When perceiving Morse code, PHL participants also performed significantly better than control: 83% versus 46% accuracy.
