Mise en évidence de l'influence de la saillance auditive sur la hiérarchie du traitement local vs global de l'information sonore temporelle
No full textPerception sonore : session générale; GPS - Perception SonoreNational audienceCette étude porte sur la manière dont la saillance façonne l'organisation perceptive d'une scène auditive. Un traitement prioritaire de l’information auditive à l’échelle globale a été mis en évidence dans des expériences utilisant des paradigmes comparant le traitement de l’information au niveau local et au niveau global. Une tâche psychophysique introduite précédemment (Susini, Jibodh Jiaouan, Brunet, Houix & Ponsot, 2020) a notamment permis d’évaluer la capacité de non-musiciens et de musiciens experts à détecter des changements locaux/globaux dans des séquences de sons simples organisées hiérarchiquement correspondant à trois triolets (échelle locale) séparés temporellement pour former un contour mélodique (échelle globale). Nous observons ici comment cette organisation hiérarchique du traitement de l’information sonore est affectée par la saillance de l'information au niveau local sur la dimension du timbre (Bouvier, Susini, Marquis‑Favre & Misdariis, 2023). Dans l'ensemble, les résultats montrent que la saillance renforce les capacités de traitement au niveau local, au détriment du traitement au niveau global. Il est intéressant de noter que pour les non- musiciens, la saillance a provoqué une inversion de la priorité du traitement global sur le local, telle qu'elle est généralement observée chez les musiciens experts
Loudness asymmetry ratings between accelerating and decelerating car sounds
No full textcote interne IRCAM: Susini08aNone / NoneNational audienceLoudness change has been studied for tones with linearly varying levels revealing an asymmetry depending on the direction of change (increasing vs. decreasing) and the range of levels (high vs. low). Different assumptions were proposed to explain this asymmetry in favour of linearly increasing sounds. Teghtsoonian et al. (2005) and, more recently, Susini et al. (2006) explain that loudness of an increasing sound is influenced by the end level. Neuhoff (1999) describes this result by a survival advantage for detecting an approaching sound source. Whatever the assumption is, the results show that loudness judgments for abstract sounds (1000-Hz tones) synthetic vowel sounds were judged as significantly higher for increasing ramps. Those results are compared here with continuous and global ratings obtained on everyday life sounds such as accelerating and decelerating car sounds with a same duration (43 s), but with different temporal functions and range of levels. Overall, loudness judgments are significantly higher for accelerating car sounds than decelerating ones, but are judged on average similar considering continuous judgments. In addition, an increase in the speed (acceleration) is evaluated primarily in terms of its level at the end. These results confirms the previous studies mentioned
Beyond the musician vs. non-musician dichotomy: Evidence for a multi-step reorganization of auditory processing with musical learning
No full textRecently, the way the auditory system processes local (musical intervals) and global information (melodic contour) was compared between non musicians and expert musicians in a local-global change comparison task (Susini et al., Sci. Rep., 2020). Results highlighted a clear reorganization of local-global processing with musical expertise. The present work aimed to better understand the mechanisms underlying these effects. To this end, we recruited listeners spanning a wider range of musical expertise: in addition to non musicians (N=10) and expert musicians (N=8), a group of amateur musicians was included (N=8), represented by individuals with occasional solo instrumental practice but no prior theoretical training. All participants performed the local-global change comparison task developed in our previous study (Susini et al., 2020), as well as an interleaved melody recognition task. In the latter task, participants heard on each trial a probe melody followed by an interleaved melodic sequence, and had to indicate whether the probe melody was embedded in the interleaved sequence. In the local-global task, results revealed a global advantage for non musicians and a local advantage for expert musicians, consistent with previous findings (Susini et al., 2020), while a trend towards a local advantage was observed for amateur musicians. In the interleaved melody recognition task, expert musicians outperformed both non musicians and amateur musicians, who showed comparable performance. On the one hand, amateur musicians exhibited a trend to favor local compared to global information, similar to expert musicians, but on the other hand, their performance for recognizing a probe melody embedded in a complex sequence was similar to that of non musicians. Taken together, our results reveal a multi-step perceptual reorganization of auditory information with musical learning, and suggest that, through acquired group musical practice, expert musicians would have developed a singular capacity to extract information embedded in complex temporal sequences

Effect of sound duration on loudness estimates of increasing and decreasing intensity sounds
No full textcote interne IRCAM: Ponsot13cNone / NoneNational audienceThe influence of sound duration on global loudness of non-stationary stimuli was investigated. Loudness of 2 and 6-s increasing and decreasing intensity sounds with different ranges of intensity-variation was assessed using a magnitude estimation procedure. Results once again uphold the existence of a loudness difference between the two patterns: while they only differ in their temporal profile, increasing sounds were perceived louder than decreasing sounds. In addition, global loudness estimates were increased with duration for the two types of sounds, and a small but significant interaction occurred between type and duration. A contrast analysis revealed that while global loudness of increasing and decreasing sounds raised with duration in a similar way in the case of low and moderate intensities (below 75 dB SPL), global loudness was significantly more affected by duration with increasing than with decreasing intensity profiles for high-intensity stimuli. This result suggests the existence of an underlying memory process combined with a “peak-end rule” as being responsible for the loudness asymmetry typically observed between the two types of intensity-pattern being judged [Susini et al. (2010). “End level bias on direct loudness ratings of increasing sounds” JASA – EL 128(4), 163-168]
Taxonomy and Definitions for Sonification and Auditory Display
No full textHermann T. Taxonomy and Definitions for Sonification and Auditory Display. In: Susini P, Warusfel O, eds. Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2008). Paris, France: IRCAM; 2008. Sonification is still a young research field and many terms such as sonification, auditory display, auralization, audification have been used without a precise definition. Recent developments such as the introduction of Model-based Sonification, the establishing of interactive sonification and the increased interest in sonification from arts have raised the issue of revisiting the definitions towards a clearer terminology. This paper introduces a new definition for sonification and auditory display that emphasize necessary and sufficient conditions for organized sound to be called sonification. It furthermore suggests a taxonomy, and discusses the relation between visualization and sonification. A hierarchy of closed-loop interactions is furthermore introduced. This paper aims at initiating vivid discussions towards the establishing of a deeper theory of sonification and auditory display
Sonic interaction design: sound, information and experience
No full textRocchesso D, Susini P, Visell Y, et al. Sonic interaction design: sound, information and experience. In: Proceeding of the twenty-sixth annual CHI conference extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '08. Florence, Italy: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM); 2008: 3969-3972.Sonic Interaction Design (SID) is an emerging field that is positioned at the intersection of auditory display, ubiquitous computing, interaction design, and interactive arts. SID can be used to describe practice and inquiry into any of various roles that sound may play in the interaction loop between users and artifacts, services, or environments, in applications that range from the critical functionality of an alarm, to the artistic significance of a musical creation. This field is devoted to the privileged role the auditory channel can assume in exploiting the convergence of computing, communication, and interactive technologies. An overemphasis on visual displays has constrained the development of interactive systems that are capable of making more appropriate use of the auditory modality. Today the ubiquity of computing and communication resources allows us to think about sounds in a proactive way. This workshop puts a spotlight on such issues in the context of the emerging domain of SID
