The goal of this paper is to address a topic that is rarely investigated in the literature of technology-assisted motor rehabilitation, that is, the integration of auditory feedback in the rehabilitation device. After a brief introduction on rehabilitation robotics, the main concepts of auditory feedback are presented…

Auditory feedback is important to reduce movement error and improve motor performance during a precise motor task. Accurate motion guided by auditory feedback may rely on the neural muscle transmission pathway between the sensorimotor area and the effective muscle. However, it remains unclear how neural activities and…

The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of real-time auditory feedback on knee proprioception. Thirty healthy participants were randomly allocated to control (n = 15), and experimental group I (15). The participants performed an active knee-repositioning task using their dominant leg, with/without…

We examined whether auditory feedback assists the post hoc error correction of temporal reproduction, and the perception of self-produced time intervals in the subsecond and suprasecond ranges. Here, we employed a temporal reproduction task with a single motor response at a point in time with and without auditory…

Purpose Various aspects of speech production related to auditory-motor integration and learning have been examined through auditory feedback perturbation paradigms in which participants' acoustic speech output is experimentally altered and played back via earphones/headphones “in real time.” Scientific rigor requires…

Monitoring auditory feedback from hearing one’s own voice is important for fluent speech production as it enables detection and correction of speech errors. The influence of auditory feedback is best illustrated by manipulating it during speech production. A common temporal manipulation technique, delaying auditory…

'Jean‐Arthur Micoulaud‐Franchi' 'Jelena Mladenović' 'Gaëlle Mougin' 'Jean Vion‐Dury' 'Sølvi Ystad' 'Mitsuko Aramaki'] Abstract. Designing a feedback that helps participants to achieve higher performances is an important concern in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. In a pilot study, we demonstrate how a congruent…

Myoelectric prosthetic devices are commonly used to help upper limb amputees perform activities of daily living, however amputees still lack the sensory feedback required to facilitate reliable and precise control. Augmented feedback may play an important role in affecting both short-term performance, through real-time…

Electric vehicles (EVs) and internal-combustion-engine vehicles (ICEVs) differ fundamentally in their in-cabin acoustics, notably the attenuation or absence of engine-order content. Prior work reports associations between reduced engine sound, speed underestimation, and poorer speed maintenance; however, research on…

Successful completion of natural motor actions relies on feedback information delivered through different modalities, including vision and audition. The nervous system weights these sensory inflows according to the context and they contribute to the calibration and maintenance of internal models. Surprisingly, the…

Across the animal kingdom, neural responses in the auditory cortex are suppressed during vocalization, and humans are no exception. A common hypothesis is that suppression increases sensitivity to auditory feedback, enabling the detection of vocalization errors. This hypothesis has been previously confirmed in…

'Eckehard Steinbach' 'Bernd Girod'] Abstract—The COVID-19 pandemic shifted many events in our daily lives into the virtual domain. While virtual conference systems provide an alternative to physical meetings, larger events require a muted audience to avoid an accumulation of background noise and distorted audio.…

'Árni Kristjánsson' 'Bernadette Murphy'] The Sound of Vision project involves developing a sensory substitution device that is aimed at creating and conveying a rich auditory representation of the surrounding environment to the visually impaired. However, the feasibility of such an approach is strongly constrained by…

Children with hearing impairments face ongoing challenges in language and motor development. This study explores how multisensory feedback technology based on virtual reality (VR), integrating auditory, visual, and tactile stimuli, can enhance rehabilitation outcomes. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)…

There is significant research in accurately determining the focus of a listener’s attention in a multi-talker environment using auditory attention decoding (AAD) algorithms. These algorithms rely on neural signals to identify the intended speaker, assuming that these signals consistently reflect the listener’s focus.…

'David A. Tovar' 'Ramnarayan Ramachandran' 'Mark T. Wallace'] In a naturalistic environment, auditory cues are often accompanied by information from other senses, which can be redundant with or complementary to the auditory information. Although the multisensory interactions derived from this combination of information…

Whether animal or speech communication, environmental sounds, or music – all sounds carry some information. Sound sources are embedded in acoustic environments that contain any number of additional sources that emit sounds that reach the listener's ears concurrently. It is up to the listener to decode the acoustic…

Tens of millions of people live blind, and their number is ever increasing. Visual-toauditory sensory substitution (SS) encompasses a family of cheap, generic solutions to assist the visually impaired by conveying visual information through sound. The required SS training is lengthy: months of effort is necessary to…
