Human Factors: Auditory Ergonomics
Our research in human factors is focused on perceptual optimization of sound signals and sound environments. Examples of this work include auditory display of biomedical data, scaling the urgency of auditory warnings (e.g., train horns) and identifying the influence of acoustic factors on tone quality in musical instruments.
