Full textBakgrund: Nuförtiden, tenderar kunder att ta produktkvalitet samt en positiv butiks image för givet, vilket gör att en ny typ av marknadsföringsstrategi blir alltmer betydelsefull. I en tid som kännetecknas av alltför stort informationsflöde och brist på tid, har faktorer som emotionella, kognitiva eller symboliska värden blivit alltmer värdefulla inom marknadsföring. I motsats till amerikanska detaljhandeln för klädesbutiker, såsom Abercrombie & Fitch, som i stor utsträckning använder sig av atmosfären som ett strategiskt marknadsföringsverktyg; uppfattar författarna inte att användandet av atmosfären som marknadsföringsstrategi är lika starkt bland svenska butiker. Författarna vill därför undersöka om svenska återförsäljare använder sig av atmosfär som ett strategiskt marknadsföringsverktyg, samt hur atmosfären uppfattas av konsumenterna. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om och hur atmosfären (ljus, doft och musik) används som ett strategiskt marknadsföringsverktyg inom svenska klädesbutiker samt hur stämningen uppfattas av konsumenterna. Därutöver kommer författarna att undersöka om konsumenternas uppfattning om den rådande atmosfären återspeglas i deras butiksbeteende (villighet att gå runt i butiken samt villighet att köpa). Metod: För att uppfylla syftet, valdes en blandad metod med en förklarande och beskrivande design, genom att samla in kvantitativ data i form av en enkät och kvalitativ data från intervjuer. Enkätundersökningen bestod av 91 svarande från JC, Carlings och Dressmann. Intervjuer med butikschefer från JC, Carlings och Dressmann har också genomförts för att undersöka om och hur atmosfären används som ett marknadsföringsverktyg. Sammanfattning: Svenska butiker använder atmosfär enbart som ett medel för att skapa en trivsam butiksmiljö. Den upplevda atmosfären varierar för olika kunder. De tre omgivande faktorerna, belysning, musik och doft, skilde sig åt i nivå av betydelse för de tre utvalda butikerna. En slutsats av detta är att åldern på kunderna spelar en viktig roll för hur stämningen uppfattas. Resultaten visar att det finns ett positivt samband mellan konsumenternas uppfattning av atmosfären, deras känslor och beteende i butiken, inom alla tre butiker. Detta indikerar att om positiva känslor ökar i intensitet, kommer även konsumenternas vilja att vistas och köpa från butiken att öka. Som en slutsats, bör svenska återförsäljare för klädesbutiker medvetet använda atmosfären som ett strategiskt marknadsföringsverktyg, för att avsiktligt påverka konsumenternas vilja att vistas i samt köpa från butiken.

Full textA proposta deste estudo exploratório é mostrar alguns aspectos estéticos da percepção háptica através de pesquisa teórica e prática. O trabalho questiona a interpretação da tradicional acepção estética ocidental que restringe aos olhos e ouvidos a capacidade de nos colocar em contato com o belo. A pesquisa prática consiste na experimentação com objetos de arte e de design em ambiente escuro buscando avaliar a possibilidade de fruição do belo háptico por pessoas cegas e não cegas. A experimentação realizou-se dentro de uma estrutura denominada domos geodésico construída com tecnologia desenvolvida pelo Laboratório de Investigação em Living Design (LILD) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ). A conclusão fundamentase no conceito de belo como sentimento estético sendo, portanto, um saber que se manifesta na liberdade do plano espiritual podendo, assim, ser denominado como conhecimento. A ascendência do sujeito ao campo estético do Outro se coloca, no trabalho, como principal caminho para a constituição dos princípios imaginativos, não só do Belo, mas também do Bem e da Verdade que integram a consciência do ser, ou seja, sua própria existência.
The proposal of this study is to show some aesthetic aspects of the tactile perception through theoretical and practical research. This work questions the interpretation of the traditional-occidental aesthetic sense which restricts to eyes and ears the capacity of placing us in contact with beauty. The practical research consists of the experimentation with art and design objects, in a dark environment searching to evaluate the possibility of enjoyment of the tactile beauty for blind and seeing people. The experimentation was concluded inside a structure called Geodesic Domes, constructed with technology developed by the Laboratory of Inquiry in Living Design (LILD) of the Pontifical University Catholic of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ). The conclusion is based on the concept of beauty as aesthetic feeling, a knowledge that manifests itself in the freedom of the spiritual level, thus, considered as knowledge. The ascendance of the subject to the aesthetic field of the Other is placed, in this work, as the principal way for the constitution of the imaginative principles, not only of Beuty, but also of Good and Truth that integrate the conscience of the being, that is, its proper existence.

Full textSpeech communication can be considered as an interactive process involving afunctional coupling between sensory and motor systems. The aim of this thesis was to test possible perceptuo-motor linkages during both speech perception and production, using distinct behavioral paradigms and populations. The experimental protocol was made of three classic experiments: a first paradigm of close-shadowing, aiming at exploring the partially motor format of audio and audiovisual stimuli; a second paradigm allowing to correlate production and perception of vowels; and a third paradigm of conscious and unconscious imitation of pitch. The experimental protocol was validated with a first group of young hearing adults. The second population studied was composed of elderly normal-hearing participants, in order to evaluate the consequences of both cognitive and linguistic declines. Results allowed us to suggest a functional activation of perceptuo-motor linkage during speech production and perception.The third population we tested comprised post-lingually deaf patients wearing acochlear implant. Our objective was to determine the impact of the sensorial deprivation and the re-learning processes, associated with their implantation, on perceptuo-motor linkages. Unexpectedly, results showed an active sensori-motor relationship in those participants, even shortly after the cochlear implantation. Altogether, our results confirmed the perceptuo-motor nature of speech. Importantly, in spite of degraded performances, these interactions between the sensory and the motor systems during speech production and perception remained functional in both the elderly normal-hearing population and the post-lingually deaf patients, wearing a cochlear implant

Full textThe occurrence of an auditory stimulus immediately before a visual target stimulus shortens reaction time by tens of milliseconds, an effect attributed to automatic temporal expectation. The present study investigated whether this effect results from a facilitation of sensory mechanisms. Two experiments were performed. In the first one the volunteers performed a simple reaction time task. They responded to visual targets which differ in detectability. It was expected that the size of the facilitatory effect would increase with the difficulty of target detection. In the second experiment the volunteers performed an accuracy task. Its data were analyzed on basis of signal detection theory. It was expected that the warning stimulus would increase the detectability of the target and lower the criterion to respond. The results of the first experiment did not indicate any influence of target detectability. The results of the second experiment indicate that both the detectability of the target and the criterion to respond were affected by the warning stimulus. These results provide support to the idea that automatic temporal expectancy facilitates sensory processing.

Full textUnder sina första år spendera många barn stor del av sin tid i förskolan. Det sker idag en ökning av barn som betecknas ha någon form av störning. Därför vill vi i denna studie undersöka hur man inom förskolans verksamhet förhåller sig till perceptioners betydelse för barns utveckling och lärande. Vi vill även undersöka om och hur man som pedagog arbetar för att stödja detta. Metoden består av en kvalitativ studie med kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer. Vi har valt att utgå ifrån den enskilda perceptionen men även som helhet i den sensoriska integrationen. Det har framkommit att det finns en medvetenhet om perceptionerna i sin helhet, dock är det ofta något man anser att man får med sig genom att träna motoriskt, genom leken och utformningen av miljön. Vad som även framkommit är att pedagogerna ofta tänker på brister när man talar om perceptioner och att de inte alltid ser betydelsen av perceptioner ur ett långsiktigt perspektiv.

Full textEste trabalho enquadra-se no contexto da condução autónoma, e o objetivo principal consiste na deteção e realização de uma manobra de estacionamento paralelo por parte de um veículo não-holonómico à escala de 1:5, utilizando um ambiente de programação ROS. Numa primeira fase são detetados os possíveis lugares vagos com recurso a uma nuvem de pontos proveniente de uma câmara 3D (Kinect), analizando volumes ao lado do carro. Assim que é encontrado um lugar vazio, inicia-se o estudo de possíveis trajetórias de aproximação. Estas trajetórias são compostas e são geradas em modo offline. É escolhido o melhor caminho a seguir e, no final, envia-se uma mensagem de comando para o veículo executar a manobra. Os objetivos traçados foram alcançados com sucesso, uma vez que as manobras de estacionamento foram realizadas corretamente nas condições esperadas. Para trabalhos futuros, seria interessante migrar este algoritmo de procura para outros veículos e tipos de manobra.
This work fits into the context of autonomous driving, and the main goal consists of the detection and execution of a parallel parking manoeuvre by a 1:5 scaled non-holonomic vehicle, using the ROS programming environment. In a first stage, the possible parking locations are detected by analysing a point cloud provided by a 3D camera (Kinect) and specifically by analysing volumes on the side of the car. Whenever an empty place is found, the study of possible paths of approach begins. These are composed trajectories, being generated offline. The path to follow is evaluated, and then the commands needed to the vehicle perform the selected path are sent. The outlined objectives were successfully achieved, since parking manoeuvres were performed correctly in the expected conditions. For future work, it would be interesting to migrate the search algorithm to other types of vehicles and manoeuvring.

Full textThe goal of this thesis is to specify when and in which coordinate system the sensorimotor transformations involved in the planning of saccades in reading are carried out. The first series of experiments uses a visually and memory-guided saccades paradigm. The results demonstrate that readers hold an internal motor plan in at least two different reference frames that are specific to the action to be performed : to aim for a new target word or to read it over with a second fixation. When a word is selected as a target for the next saccade, the spatial location of the second target is encoded in head-centered coordinates before the first saccade. Then, the second saccade is updated with respect to the current eye position after the first saccade in order to aim a fonctional target location in the second word that is the word's center.

Full textThe goal of this work was to study the representation of the peri-personnal space in man. This investigation is performed by analysing the arm movement in the three-dimensional space. This movement consisted in the production of drawing movements -ellipses- executed in the three anatomical reference planes: the sagittal, the frontal and the horizontal. By selecting this experimental paradigm, we consider the movement as the expression of a cognitif processus per se: the perceptual motor representation of the three-dimensional space. The drawing movements in the space were recorded by means of the Vicon three-dimensional motion analyser. In the first part of this work, a comparative study has been done about the mental representation of the space and the influence of the visual information. The results of this first part showed that the motor representation of the anatomical reference planes was anisotropic. In the second part, we have studied the influence of the nature of the movement on the production of oriented figure in the space. In this part, the ellipses have been produced by drawing and by pointing. The results confirmed the anisotropy found in the first part of our work. In the third part, the performance of elderly subjects -not suffering of any neurosensorial deficiency- has been studied. The anisotropy in the motor representation of the space, observed for the elderly subjects, can be interpreted as a shrinking of the representation of the peri-personnal space

Full textThe ability to integrate the vast amount of information coming from the environmentinto a coherent representation is usually considered a necessary conditionfor any behavior to take place. In this Ph.D. thesis, our proposal is to moderatethis apparent causality, and to bring new elements that support the idea of a codeterminationof the building of sensorimotor representations and the execution ofmotor behavior. In other words, we propose that actions are not only adapted toexternal constraints through an internal activity, but also contribute to the buildingof coherent representations of the world. Therefore, we made a series of experimentsto highlight the role of motor activity in the process of binding perceptiveinformation. The first study examined the functional role of motor responses inthe integration process, which were found to be a necessary condition for an integrationto take place. The second study investigated the link between perceptiveand motor components. The results showed that both are indeed integrated into acommon sensorimotor representation. Our final study shed light on the fact thatbuilding sensorimotor representations seems to rely on the integration of sensorimotoraction-effects. Taken together, our results point toward the critical role of motoractivity in cognitive processes, and question the relevance of distinguishing motorcomponents from perceptive ones

Full textIt is suggested that the association of visual and cephalic systems may predict the eye-head coordination. No research has explored preterm's visuo-cephalic activity. The focus of this study was preterm's visuo-cephalic activity in two tasks : a pursuit and a peripheral detection task. 51 preterms infants, born at 32 weeks, were observed at 37 weeks in a semi vertical position. Four groups of preterms were observed either in one or both conditions : "head fixed" and "head free". Results show that preterm can follow a target moving horizontally at eye level and at a 30 cm distance. The pursuit covers 20 to 25 of the target's total course. Evenmore peripheral detection is observed when the target appears within a 30 angle. Eye displacements were predominantly saccadic in both tasks. Comparison of visual activity between conditions show that preterms perform better in "head fixed" than in "head free" condition. In the latter, two forms of pursuit are observed : a response of ocular pursuit and a response of ocular pursuit accompagnied by a cephalic movement oriented in the same direction. This "ocular-cephalic" pattern of response is characterized by an ocular localization followed by an accelerated cephalic movement

The purpose of the study is to analyze the concept of Alteration tactile sensory perception in patients with stroke, performed with analysis of literature and opinion of experts. The study aims to update the taxonomy of nursing diagnoses (ND), considering that the ND regarding this change does not appear more in the classification of NANDA International (NANDA-I), despite the change of tactile sensory perception often be identified in patients with stroke. The study objectives are: To analyze the concept of Alteration in tactile sensory perception in patients with stroke.

According to the analysis of concept and after validation by experts, the phenomenon Alteration of tactile sensory perception in patients with stroke involves three critical attributes: Stimulus ideal, Reception intact and Change in interpretation. These attributes allowed the construction of the concept: Change or inability to interpret stimuli that come into contact with the individual body surface, provided ideal conditions for reception and tactile receptors by intact skin and shallow. As for the components of the phenomenon were defined factors associated with their respective concepts and operational definitions: Severity of stroke and stroke location. Defining characteristics were determined with their respective concepts and operational definitions: Change in perception of light touch, Change in perception of pressure, Change in perception of temperature, Change in the perception of texture, Change in stereognosis, Extinction a simultaneous stimuli, Change in perception of tactile location and Discrimination somatosensory impaired. It is hoped that the results can be applied in assisting people with stroke with tactile sensory changes making the practice more extensive care and based on scientific knowledge. Moreover, it is expected that the development of this study is an initial step to a new and important inclusion of human response in the taxonomy of nursing diagnoses from NANDA-I.

Full textThe transformation of visual information about an object into an appropriate motor command is essential to precise and adapted action in the environment. In the visual system, the sensory coordinates of a visual object must be transformed into motor coordinates appropriate to acquiring that object with a saccadic eye movement. Sensory-motor transformation is subject to plasticity, as shown by saccadic adaptation which introduces a discrepancy between the motor coordinates of the saccade and the visual coordinates of the target. The characteristics of saccadic adaptation were studied by examining the selectivity of adaptation to mtentionality (reactive versus volitional saccades), the structure of the spatial extent of saccadic adaptation, and the effect on saccade dynamics. Saccadic adaptation was exploited to examine the contribution of the two coordinate systems - motor and visual - to perception. Two aspects of visual perception were studied: the orientation of visuo-spatial attention, and the perception of visual space. The results show that when the motor coordinates are adaptively modified, the orientation of visuo-spatial attention is modified in an analogous manner. The distribution of perceptual capacities throughout the visual field depends on the action being prepared. Motor coordinates also organize the perception of visual space. When they are adaptively modified, the perceived localization of objects is proportionally affected: the perception of space depends on the potential to act within that space. Taken together, these results suggest an important role of action and action intention in the perception of the visual world

Full textThe development of eating behaviour is a complex phenomenon in a majority of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This doctoral thesis aims to better understand the extent to which perceptual particularities (visual and olfactory) in children with an ASD influence their acceptance of a food.Our results show that ASD children differ on a sensorial level from Typically developed (TD) children, these differences depending on the nature of the stimuli (vision and olfaction). They also attribute a lower valence to stimuli which are, a priori, pleasant. This was particularly true for visual stimuli. Finally, we observe a link between hedonic judgement and the degree of neophobia in children with an ASD. This was not the case in TD children.Next, we evaluated the effects of olfactory familiarisation on the valence of an odour. Our results show an increase in positive emotional expression relating to the smell which has been familiarised. We also observed that two thirds of the children, notably those with the most sensory particularities, chose the food that carried this odour.The final objective of this thesis was to consider the perspectives of ASD children and to compare them with results obtained in neuroscience. Our observations highlight the relevance of establishing a dialogical research and/or support approach that allows us to build and develop our knowledge of food and eating. Our studies underline the importance of considering the perceptual profiles of ASD children when designing educational tools to support eating behaviour development

The ubiquitously deployed urban sensors such as traffic speed meters, street-view cameras, and even smartphones in everybody's pockets are generating terabytes of data every hour. How do we refine the valuable intelligence out of such explosions of urban data and information became one of the profitable questions in the field of data mining and urban computing. In this dissertation, four innovative applications are proposed to solve real-world problems with big data of the urban sensors. In addition, the foreseeable ethical vulnerabilities in the research fields of urban computing and event predictions are addressed. The first work explores the connection between urban perception and crime inferences. StreetNet is proposed to learn crime rankings from street view images. This work presents the design of a street view images retrieval algorithm to improve the representation of urban perception. A data-driven, spatiotemporal algorithm is proposed to find unbiased label mappings between the street view images and the crime ranking records. The second work proposes a traffic incident duration prediction model that simultaneously predicts the impact of the traffic incidents and identifies the critical groups of temporal features via a multi-task learning framework. Such functionality provided by this model is helpful for the transportation operators and first responders to judge the influences of traffic incidents. In the third work, a social media-based traffic status monitoring system is established. The system is initiated by a transportation-related keyword generation process. A state-of-the-art tweets summarization algorithm is designed to eliminate the redundant tweets information. In addition, we show that the proposed tweets query expansion algorithm outperforms the previous methods. The fourth work aims to investigate the viability of an automatic multiclass cyberbullying detection model that is able to classify whether a cyberbully is targeting a victim's age, ethnicity, gender, religion, or other quality. This work represents a step forward for establishing an active anti-cyberbullying presence in social media and a step forward towards a future without cyberbullying. Finally, a discussion of the ethical issues in the urban computing community is addressed. This work seeks to identify ethical vulnerabilities from three primary research directions of urban computing: urban safety analysis, urban transportation analysis, and social media analysis for urban events. Visions for future improvements in the perspective of ethics are pointed out.

Full textWhile speech communication is a faculty that seems natural, a lot remainsto be understood about the nature of the cognitive representations and processes that are involved. Central to this PhD research is the study of interactions between perception and action during production or perception of syllables. We choose Bayesian Programming as a rigorous framework within which we provide a mathematical definition of the COSMO model ("Communicating Objects using Sensori-Motor Operations"), which allows to formalize motor, auditory and perceptuo-motor theories of speech communication and to study them quantitatively. This approach first leads to a strong theoretical result:we prove an indistinguishability theorem, according to which, given some ideal learning conditions, motor and auditory theories make identical predictions for perception tasks, and therefore cannot be distinguished empirically. To depart from these conditions, we introduce an original “learning by accommodation” algorithm, which enables to adapt to the ambient acoustic environment as well as to develop idiosyncrasies. This algorithm, which learns by mimicking acoustic targets, allows to acquire motor skills from acoustic inputs only, with the remarkable property of focusing its learning on the adequate regions. We use syllables synthesized by a vocal tract model (VLAM ) to analyse how thedifferent models evolve through learning and how robust they are to degradations

Full textIn this thesis, six studies in young calves were performed in order to find strategies to increase concentrate intake around weaning. The first study was conducted to develop a method to determine oro-sensory preferences in weaned calves. This method consist on measure the solid feed consumption of a minimum group of 20 calves, which recieve two options of concentrates or ingredients during a period of 6 h. Using this method, the second study was performed, where the oro-sensory preferences between 8 energetic ingredients (rice, wheat, corn, corn gluten feed, oats, sorghum, barley and second wheat) and 6 protein ingredients (canola, corn DDG, corn gluten meal, sunflower, soybean and pea) were determined. Wheat and soybean meal were the favorite ingredients for weaned calves, while the corn gluten feed, rice and corn gluten meal ingredients were less preferred in this short term study. The third study was conducted to evaluate the effect of flavoring a starter concentrate in a same manner as a milk replacer on intake and performance of young calves. This study claims, that offering a starter concentrate flavored as the milk replacer enhances solid feed consumption of those calves that have a low intake around weaning. The fourth study evaluated the ability of calves to meet their nutrient requirements when different ingredients were offered indepently in newborn calves. In this study a group of calves received a conventional concentrate whereas another group received a battery of different ingredients. The calves that had access to the free-choice of ingredients described a similar total consumption and growth compared to calves that received concentrate. However, calves that had access to all ingredients described a higher consumption of protein and fat, and lower consumption of carbohydrates that those receiving concentrate. These differences in nutrient intake were mainly due to the preference toward soybean meal and soybean full fat described by the animals that had access to all ingredients. The fifth study analyzed the role of particle size of forage in lactating cattle. This study compared two diets, composed of a conventional concentrate with a 10% of forage added. These two diets were different in the particle size of forage, ground (2 mm) or choped (3-4cm). It was observed that animals receiving chopped forage (3-4 cm) increased solid feed consumption the week after weaning, improved the apparent digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre, and reduce undesired behaviors, such as non-nutritive oral behaviors. The sixth study was conducted to evaluate the role of opioids in the regulation of food intake by stimulation or inhibition of pleasure. This study tested the effect of naloxone, an opioid antagonist, on preferred concentrates consumption in weaned calves, and their possible interactions with other metabolites related to the regulation of food intake. It was observed that satiated animals treated with naloxone reduced solid feed consumption, indicating that opioids are involved in the regulation of total intake. Furthermore, calves treated with naloxone reduced their preference for concentrate with sweetener, which had been previously observed as a preferred concentrate. Regarding the analyzed metabolites, GLP-1 was influences by naloxone administration. In summary, calves showed preference for sweeteners around weaning, either in short term or long term assays. Soybean meal was a preferred ingredient, while oats was not desired, both in short term and long term. Adding a sweetener with the same aroma in concentrate and in milk replacer increased consumption of animals that had a low intake prior to weaning. The particle size of forage influenced the growth, consumption, digestibility and performance of calves around weaning. Finally, we observed that opioids play an important role in the regulation of food intake by hedonism or pleasure.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o conceito de percepção na Filosofia e Neurociência. Para tanto, descrevemos alguns aspectos históricos da neurociência cognitiva sobre as funções psicológicas superiores, bem como ressaltamos a importância do estudo da percepção no desenvolvimento humano e processos sócio-educativos. Na Filosofia, duas grandes concepções sobre a sensação e a percepção fazem parte da tradição filosófica: o Empirismo e o Racionalismo. No século XX, contudo, a Filosofia alterou bastante essas duas tradições através de uma nova concepção do conhecimento sensível. As mudanças foram trazidas pela Fenomenologia e pela Psicologia da Forma ou teoria da Gestalt. A percepção apresenta estreita ligação com os sentidos, sendo as primeiras etapas realizadas pelos sistemas sensoriais, responsáveis por sua fase analítica. É como se cada característica fosse separada em suas partes constituintes, tais como forma, cor, movimentos e assim por diante. Porém, percebemos o mundo com totalidades integradas e não com sensações fracionadas, o que faz supor que existam outros mecanismos, além daqueles de natureza analítica, que contribuem para nossa percepção sintética. Faz-se necessário entender como a percepção, conceito estritamente subjetivo, se relaciona com o cérebro, abordagem amplamente estudada pela Neurociência Cognitiva. Finalmente, destacamos a importante investigação acerca da percepção realizada pelo neurocientista contemporâneo, Joaquin Fuster, demonstrando como William James, no final do século XIX, já havia escrito de forma muito semelhante.
The present study aims to investigate the concept of perception in Philosophy and Neuroscience. For this, we describe some historical aspects of cognitive neuroscience on the higher psychological functions, as well as emphasize the importance of perception in the study of human development and the socio-educational. In Philosophy, two large conceptions of sensation and perception are part of the philosophical tradition: Empiricism and Rationalism. In the twentieth century, however, the philosophy changed much these two traditions through a new conception of sensitive knowledge. The changes were brought about by the phenomenology and the psychology of form or Gestalt theory. The perception is closely linked to the senses, being the first steps taken by the sensory systems responsible for its analytical phase. It is as if each is separated into its constituent parts, such as shape, color, movement and so on. However, we perceive the world with uncompromising integrity and not with feelings fractionated, which suggests that there are other mechanisms besides those of analytical nature, which contribute to our synthetic perception. It is necessary to understand how perception, strictly subjective concept, relates to the brain, an approach widely studied by Cognitive Neuroscience. Finally, we highlight the important research on the perception held by contemporary neuroscientist Joaquin Fuster, showing how William James, in the late nineteenth century, had written very similarly.

Full textSpeech production is a complex motor process, governed by the temporal orchestration of the articulators that are organized in time and space, thus contributing to the emergence of sensorimotor categories: the sounds of a given language. By paying more attention to the motor dimension of speech and by making a few epistemological adjustments, this approach resembles that of Stetson, who stated in his book "Motor phonetics" (1928; 1951; Reed. 1988) that speech was rather a set of gestures made audible than a set of sounds produced by movements. However, this research attempts to demonstrate, from experimental results, that speech is both a set of movements made audible (and visible) and a set of sounds produced by movements. In this perspective, the focus is on the nature of the mutual specification of the articulatory and acoustic levels, a trait that seems to characterize sensorimotor systems in general and, particularly, the speech production-perception one. In order to understand the timing of the gestures that "govern" the production of phonetic categories, it is essential to look, first, at the general principles that underlie biological sensorimotor behaviours to be able, second, to make necessary theoretical and methodological adaptations in the specific area of timing of linguistic gestures. This dissertation is concerned with a major theme in speech production: the timing of well contrasted linguistic categories. The main aim is to uncover temporal constraints that are tied to the production of quantity contrasts, by analyzing both articulatory and acoustic phasing patterns. Various hypotheses are made in this work, the strongest being the following: it is possible to pinpoint articulatory-acoustic regularities in the timing of quantity contrasts, regardless of language, dialect and speaker differences. Such regularities could be rationalized by referring to physical and semiotic demands of the speech production-perception system. After verifying the initial hypotheses, an attempt is made to discuss the data within a general theory of speech production and perception. Finally, propositions are made for a theoretical modelling of the emergence of sensorimotor behaviours in speech production and perception

Full textPerception is the way by which we know the outside world. Thanks to our perceptions we are able to interact with our environment and to achieve various everyday life actions as locating or moving in an environment, or recognizing objects. Perception is not passive whereas sensations are, it has active components. In particular, perception can be oriented for a specific purpose allowing to filter data and to take care only of the most relevant. If human perception is particularly effective, artificial perception remains a complex problem with a lot of non solved difficulties. For example, changes of perception conditions as modification of illumination or partial occultation of the searched object must be effectively managed. This thesis proposes a system of perception based on a strategy of active perception which can adapt itself to various applications. To do it, we propose an algorithm Top-Down using a part-based model. The problem of perception is transformed into a problem of estimation of a characteristics vector. The detection of the different parts constituting the searched object allows to realize this estimation. The proposed perceptive system is an iterative and multi-sensors algorithm. In every iteration, it selects, at best, according to the application objectives, the part to detect and the best compatible sensor and detector. A bayesian network is used to take into account uncertain events which can arise during this process as detector failure or potential non existing part. A focus process consisting of a spatial focus and of a characteristics focus, improves the detection by restricting the search area, by improving the signal to noise ratio and by eliminating some erroneous candidates. This focus process also allows to reduce computation time and to restrict influence of distractors. Adding a part, a sensor or a detector is simple. Furthermore, the use of a bayesian network allows to be flexible in the events modelisation : it is easy to add new events to obtain a more realistic modelisation. The proposed algorithm has been used for several applications including object’s recognition, fine pose estimation and localization. So, it is multi-purpose and generic

Gastronomy is one of the oldest humanity science. Its importance for the society is great, because the human being need to feed to be alive. For this, it is necessary to prepare the food, combining cooking’s culture and techniques for a better use of each ingredient. Cooking’s job is to make meals look more tasty and attractive for the diner, thus provided, not only nourishment of the body, but pleasure in feeding. This research had as objective to evaluate if the aesthetics, that is, the visual perception, can influence flavor’s perception. The research was performed with 38 elderly (age = 67.65 SD = 6.15) who tasted a preparation assembled in two ways, one more and one less esthetic. These elderly respond to a semi-structured questionnaire for sociodemographic data, as well as hedonic measures related to the preparation and psychological measures to assess mood states. For data analysis, Shapiro-Wilks, Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. In addition, we chose to work with the deltas´s difference with three groups, according to their dish preference, using the Chi-square test (Monte Carlo). The results showed that the most esthetic dish was better evaluated by all the elderly (p = 0.000), that a better perception of salt quantity on most esthetic dish was perceived when divided by age group (p = 0.020) and there was no difference between elderly men and women (p≥0.05). No differences were found regarding perceptions of the fact that the elderly cook or not, nor anxiety and depression influenced perception, since the group had low anxiety and depression scores. It is concluded that the use of aesthetic dishes while cooking may favor the improvement of food perception in this group, as well as improve the perception of tastes, especially the salt that is decreased in the aging process.
A gastronomia é uma das ciências mais antigas da humanidade. Sua importância para a sociedade é grande, pois o ser humano precisa se alimentar para viver. Para tanto, é preciso preparar a comida, aliando a cultura e as técnicas de culinária utilizadas na gastronomia para um maior e melhor aproveitamento de cada alimento. O trabalho da gastronomia é tornar as refeições mais saborosas e atraentes ao comensal, proporcionado, assim, não só nutrição do corpo, mas o prazer em se alimentar. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar se a estética, ou seja, a percepção visual, pode influenciar na percepção dos sabores. A pesquisa foi realizada com 38 idosos (idade = 67,65 DP= 6,15) que degustaram uma preparação montada de duas formas, uma mais e outra menos estética. Esses idosos responderam a um questionário semiestruturado para os dados sociodemográficos, além de medidas hedônicas relacionadas às preparações e medidas psicológicas para avaliação dos estados de humor. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizados os testes Shapiro-Wilks, Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Além disso, optou-se por trabalhar com o delta da diferença com três grupos, de acordo com a sua preferência de prato, utilizando o teste Qui-quadrado (Monte Carlo). Os resultados demonstraram que o prato mais estético foi melhor avaliado por todos os idosos (p=0,000), que o prato mais estético foi percebido com maior quantidade de sal quando dividido por faixa etária (p=0,020) e não havendo diferença entre idosos e idosas (p≥0,05). Também não foram encontradas diferenças quanto às percepções pelo fato do idoso cozinhar ou não, assim como, se a ansiedade e a depressão influenciavam na percepção, visto que o grupo tinha baixos escores de ansiedade e depressão. Concluindo-se que a utilização de pratos estéticos na gastronomia pode vir a favorecer a melhora do comportamento alimentar neste grupo, assim como, melhorar a percepção de gostos, especialmente do sal que é diminuído no processo de envelhecer.

Resumo: O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia do oferecimento prévio de informações técnicas e sensoriais na percepção e respostas de dor dos pacientes submetidos à exodontia. Participaram deste estudo 145 pacientes, com idade entre 14 e 24 anos, que necessitavam de exodontia de, pelo menos, um terceiro molar em sessão odontológica. Os pacientes foram alocados aleatoriamente em três diferentes grupos (Controle - GC, Experimental Técnico - GET e Experimental Sensorial - GES). O planejamento experimental foi subdividido em 6 momentos: Pré-cirúrgico, Pós-cirúrgico I, II, III, IV e Remoção de Sutura. No Pré-cirúrgico foi aplicada uma entrevista inicial com questões abertas e fechadas sobre hábitos de saúde, experiência cirúrgica e uso de medicamentos, bem como aplicação dos questionários e escalas de dor e apresentação de um vídeo informativo (somente para os grupos experimentais). Nos momentos Pós-cirúrgico II III e IV ocorreu a aplicação do Questionário de Dor McGill e da Escala VAS de Funcionalidades, sendo que nesses momentos o paciente respondeu aos instrumentos em casa. No momento de remoção de sutura foram recolhidos os instrumentos de avaliação e foi aplicada uma avaliação do vídeo informativo. A partir das avaliações e entrevistas puderam ser identificadas alterações que podem ser atribuídas à apresentação de informação prévia e, consequentemente, variação na percepção de dor do paciente em relação ao GC. Tanto os pacientes que receberam informações técnicas, como os que receberam informações sensoriais relataram menores escores de dor ao longo do pós-operatório. No entanto, mesmo com relatos de baixa percepção de dor, todos os pacientes ingeriram quantidades similares de analgésicos no pós-operatório. É importante destacar que a maior parte dos pacientes experimentais relatou a experiência de receber informações detalhadas como positivas
Abstract: The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the previous offering technical and sensory information to perception and pain responses of patients undergoing third molar extraction. The study included 145 patients, aged 14 and 24, who needed extraction of at least one third molar. Patients were randomly divided into three groups (Control - CG, Technical - TG and Sensory - SG). The experimental design was divided into six phases: Pre-surgical, post-surgical I, II, III, IV and suture removal. In the Pre-Surgical was applied an initial interview with open and closed questions about health habits, surgical experience and use of medicines as well as the questionnaires, pain scales and presenting an informative video (for the experimental groups). In the post-surgical moments II III and IV was the application of the McGill Pain Questionnaire and VAS scale features, and the patient responded to the instruments at home. At the time of suture removal the assessment tools were collected and applied an assessment of the informative video. From the reviews and interviews have been identified changes that could be attributed to the presentation of prior information and hence variation in the perception of the patient's pain compared to CG. Both patients who received technical information, such as receiving sensory information reported lower pain scores throughout the postoperative period. However, even with low pain perception reported, all patients ate similar amounts of analgesics postoperative. Importantly, most of the experimental subjects reported the experience of receiving detailed information as positive

Full textThis thesis deals with the study and development of visual systems inspired by the living. These works present an enactive formalization of the sensori-motor approach of perceptive phenomens based on the dynamical system concept. Perception is defined by an energy function coming from sensori-motor attractors. These attractors are defined by the learning of stable laws binding sensations and actions. This formalization allows to define the role of the learning, of the corpse and alters our conception of objects. Besides, these works develop the model of an architectural unit gathering minimal functionnalities to learn sensori-motor invariants. The obtained architecture is applied to an autonomous robot: the later can exhibit different behaviors in front of learned objects (following and reaching behaviors. . . ). Finally, these works investigate how the sensori-motor approach can help to design real-time implementations of embedded architectures

Pesquisas na área do design ergonômico têm delineado parâmetros para o desenvolvimento de diversos produtos, por meio do estudo da relação de aspectos formais de produtos e a percepção ou solicitações físicas humanas. Entretanto, estudos da correlação de aspectos formais da superfície de contato (texturas das interfaces) com a percepção humana no uso de ferramentas manuais apresentam-se ainda incipientes. Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a relação de três características formais de textura (disposição, densidade gráfica, profundidade) com a percepção de desconforto e agradabilidade, visando compreender o dimensionamento sensorial tátil em ferramentas manuais. Para tanto, foi aplicado a fase de avaliação do método SEQUAM, com uso de 8 mock-ups de martelos unha com distintas configurações de texturas aplicadas aos seus cabos. As simulações de uso foram realizadas com profissionais de marcenaria (PM) e usuários domésticos (UD). Os resultados desta abordagem experimental demonstraram que as características de disposição, densidade gráfica e profundidade interferem na percepção do usuário; e que entre estas três características a densidade gráfica das ranhuras apresentou um número maior de aspectos perceptíveis com diferenças significativas (p<0,05) entre os mock-ups. Outro dado expressivo foi a diferença de percepção entre os grupos de sujeitos PM e UD. Estes resultados caracterizam as texturas das superfícies de contato de ferramentas manuais como elementos formais associados a certas percepções obtidas no uso do produto; e aponta possíveis contribuições de estudos sobre dimensionamento sensorial tátil para o design ergonômico de ferramentas manuais.
Researches in the area of ergonomic design have outlined parameters for the development of several products, through the study of the relationship of formal aspects of products and the perception or human physical requests. However, studies of the correlation of formal aspects of the contact surface (interfaces textures) with human perception in the use of hand tools are still incipient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of three formal characteristics of texture (layout, graphic density, depth) with the perception of discomfort and pleasantness, in order to understand the tactile sensorial dimensioning in hand tools. Therefore, the evaluation phase of the method SEQUAM, with use of 8 mock-ups of nail hammers with distinct texture configurations applied to their cables. The use simulations were performed with carpentry professionals and home users. The results of this experimental approach demonstrated that the characteristics of layout, graphic density and depth interfere in the perception of the user; and that among these three characteristics the graphical density of the grooves presented a greater number of perceptible aspects with significant differences (p <0.05) between the mock-ups. Another expressive data was the difference of perception between the groups of subjects, carpentry professionals and home users. These results characterize the textures of contact surfaces of hand tools as formal elements associated with certain perceptions obtained in the use of the product; and points out possible contributions of studies on tactile sensorial dimensioning for the ergonomic design of hand tools.

Full textThis work entitled Sensory Garden and Pedagogical Practices in Environment Education reports a research developed in a Private School located in Pato Branco, Paraná. The study aimed to analyze pedagogical practices conducted by teachers in a sensory garden installed in this school, in order to identify possible relationship between the practices developed by teachers and different perspectives on Environment Education in Brazil, even though the activities were not designated explicitly to Environment Education. In this dissertation we present a brief history of environmental and sensory in Brazil and make a revision of studies that have discussed the use of these spaces to the development of pedagogical practices. We focus theoretically the Environment Education, situating it historically in the context of environment crisis. We contemplate some theoretical considers about current trends in this education in Brazil. The data were collected through participant observation and surveys with teachers and students after the practices developed in the sensory garden. The development of pedagogical practices by teachers using this place raised questions and reflections that could be considered the scope of environmental education, which might have not appeared if such practices have been developed in classroom. Finally, this work demonstrates that the use of different spaces in pedagogical practices can promote mutual growth and learning between teachers and students, as well as promote Environmental Education in a creative way, in the opposite direction of the specific practices and meaningless, which have little or no lasting impact.

Sucintamente, os enfoques abordados utilizam-se de diferentes classes de sensores como encoders, lasers, GPS e suas combinações, de maneira a minimizar as incertezas intrínsecas de cada sensor. A principal contribuição do trabalho está em uma nova formulação de odometria por otimização, bem como suas extensões para a estimação concomitante de polarizações. É apresentado também um esquema de estimação determinística de poses em batelada no contexto da fusão odometria-GPS, além da definição de mapeamentos por funções suaves que viabilizam o uso de medidas de orientação descontínuas. As metodologias são formuladas, avaliadas em simulação e validadas experimentalmente com a plataforma robótica do projeto VERO (Veículo Robótico de Exterior) do CTI Renato Archer
Abstract: This dissertation addresses the problem of localizing a ground vehicle that navigates in an outdoor environment. The work consists in the development of sensorial perception and odometry techniques capable of furnishing pose estimates (position and attitude), a fundamental aspect of any robotic navigation task. In short, we focus on exploring different sensor classes, such as encoders, lasers, GPSs, and their combinations, in order to minimize the intrinsic uncertainties of each sensor. The main contribution of the work is a new odometry formulation and its extension for simultaneous bias estimation. We also present a deterministic batch estimation framework for the odometry-GPS fusion, as well as the definition of mappings by smooth functions of the orientation state component that allow the use of discontinuous heading measures. Methodologies are formulated, analysed in simulation and experimentaly validated using the VERO ("VEículo RObótico de Exterior", in Portuguese) robotic platform

Full textIn this thesis, we address the problem of accurate localization of autonomous vehicles on highway roads using LiDAR sensors and a highly accurate third party map. The proposed approach is based on two core modules: perception and map-matching. The perception module uses the 3D data enhanced by the LiDAR reflectivity to detect road primitive features: lane markings, barriers, traffic signs and guardrail reflectors. The map-matching module incorporates these measurements and aligns them against a highly accurate third party map. The map-matching is performed using a particle filter, which we have improved in order to deal with the particle deprivation problem. The proposed improvement uses the road geometry in order to optimize the spatial distribution of particles while maintaining the number of particles constant. To evaluate the proposed method, we compared the localization outputs of our system to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with RTK corrections (ground truth). Experiments have been conducted on two highway roads. The first is an experimental test track (CTA2) of 5 km long located at CTA, Renault’s Aubevoye’s Technical Center. This track is designed to exactly replicate a two-lane highway environment. The second is a section of the A13 highway, running from Paris and ending at Aubevoye. The results are promising and show the feasibility of a localization system based on LiDARs alone and with a sparse map data representation

Considering that approximatelly 90% of individuals with ASD show some deficit in sensory perception and the adition of atypical sensory criteria in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, the fifith edition (DSM-5) for diagnosis of ASD, there is a need to have instruments that can access this constructs enabiling more research. Many exiting instruments are questionnaires for parents, and most of them focus on children, therefore little is known about sensory perception in adults. Given the lack of brazilian intruments to evaluate the hability of sensory processing and questionnaires that can access the real experience of who lives this reality, this study aims to translate to brazilian portuguese and culturally adapt the Sensory Perception Quotient, an instrument of self report that can access sensory reactivity in adults, evaluating five basic modalities, that can be hypo or hyper –reactive, avoiding value judgment. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to translate to brazilian portuguese and adapt culturally to the brazilian culture of the Sensory Perception Quotient, conducting a study within a scope of a non-experimental non-longitudinal descriptive research, and the following steps: translation, back-translation, revision by a specialist comittee on analysis, evaluation of he scoring and the verification of the instrument’s internal consistency. Sample was constituied of 87 participants, ages 18 to 52 years. The results obtained by the application of total questionnaire translated and adapted, already modified in 53 questions in relation to it’s original version, aloud to notice that it is understandable and shows intern consistency little under of desirable, having only the short version with desirable intern consistency. These observations indicate that the search for evidence of validy of the short version of the instrument, realized through new researches, with other applications of the translated version and adapted in this study, will make it possible to applicate in Brazil. Is recommened caution with full questionnaire in the disscution part of this study.
Considerando-se o fato de que aproximadamente 90% dos indivíduos com TEA mostram algum déficit na percepção sensorial junto ao fato da inclusão do critério sensorial atípico no Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística dos Transtornos Mentais 5.ª edição (DSM-5) para diagnóstico de TEA, há necessidade de se ter instrumentos que possam acessar esses constructos possibilitando mais pesquisas. Muitos instrumentos existentes são questionários para pais, e a maioria se volta para crianças, assim pouco se sabe sobre a percepção sensorial em adultos. Diante da falta de instrumentos brasileiros para avaliar a habilidade de processamento sensorial e questionários que possam acessar a experiência daquele que vive diretamente essa realidade, este estudo objetivou traduzir para o português do Brasil e adaptar culturalmente o Sensory Perception Quotient, um instrumento de auto relato que acessa a reatividade sensorial em adultos, avaliando as cinco modalidades básicas, podendo ser hipo ou hiper-reativo, evitando julgamento de valores. O presente estudo se encaixa no modelo de pesquisa não experimental, transversal, descritiva, contendo os seguintes passos: tradução, retrotradução, revisão por um comitê de especialistas, avaliação das pontuações e verificação da consistência interna do instrumento. A amostra foi constituída de 87 participantes, com idades entre 18 a 52 anos. Os resultados obtidos através da aplicação do questionário total traduzido e adaptado, já com mudanças em 53 perguntas em relação à versão original, permitiram observar que ele é compreensível e apresenta consistência interna pouco abaixo do desejável, apenas com a versão reduzida (short) possuindo consistência interna adequada. Essas observações indicam que a busca de evidências de validade do instrumento da versão reduzida, realizada através de novas pesquisas, com outras aplicações da versão traduzida e adaptada neste estudo poderá tornar possível sua utilização no Brasil. Recomenda-se cautela maior com o questionário total na discussão do trabalho.

Full textAlthough a considerable amount of research into beer consumer behavior has been conducted in several countries, no publicly available such study performed in Portugal has been found. The aim of this research is to understand young consumers' perceptions regarding six brands available in Portuguese retailers and to compare the results with other studies. In this research the author developed a conceptual framework and defined hypotheses, permitting an answer to the purpose of this investigation. Different techniques for collecting data such as surveys and experimentations were used and analysed statistically. The findings suggest that the presence of the brand and packaging are determinant in the formation of consumers' sensorial expectations and play a central role in consumers' evaluation, even if those attributes are not recognized as more important in consumers'perspectives. The majority of participants were unable to Recognize their favourite brand in the blind-test evaluation, and the two brands that were rated in last positions in the survey climbed to the top when they were not identifiable, even if in consumers'perspectives the taste is the most important attribute when choosing a beer. The main beneficiaries of the research should be breweries and, more precisely, marketing and brand managers because it provides important insights into the attributes young consumers value most and suggests strategies for marketing and advertising campaigns. The research can also provide an academic contribution because it specifies the processes to conduct blind test experimentations and suggests further studies based on the investigation results. It also, once again, makes obvious the importance of brand awareness.

Full textentrant particulièrement par l'expérience vécue de ceux-ci. Le champ d'étude principal
s'établit en particulier autour de la question des mouvements situés des usagers dans
l'espace public urbain, plus précisément dans les espaces publics intermédiaires. Nous
cherchons à comprendre comment l'espace construit est mis à l'épreuve par la pratique
des usagers. Nous faisons l'hypothèse que la qualité de mouvement des passants peut
révéler les formes physiques et sensibles de l'espace. Ainsi, elle comporterait une sorte
de validation des qualités potentielles de l'espace construit. Pour cela, la mobilité
corporelle est un élément d'étude essentiel d'un point de vue à la fois analytique et
méthodologique. Elle nous permet d'appréhender, d'une part la qualité d'ambiances de
l'espace construit, et d'autre part la qualité pratique de celui-ci. En ce qui concerne les
résultats de cette recherche, nous proposons un répertoire de phénomènes sensorimoteurs,
afin d'ébaucher un outil pratique pour la conception architecturale et urbaine.
Ce répertoire est constitué des diverses façons dont l'espace construit est perçu et
ressenti à travers les expériences vécues des passants.

Full textThis work researches the spatial perception that visual impaired persons have of the urban landscape. It also covers the social interactions of blind people with other citizens, discussing aspects of sympathy, conflicts, stigma, and prejudice. Furthermore, it seeks to identify the emotional - and subjective - mechanisms of evaluating the space that arise through the pathways, not disregarding its physical attributions. In addition it looks for the remembrance of values and affection towards the landscape. Based on the understanding that the urban landscape is a public and shared heritage, the visual impaired person claim equal treatment of citizens and independent access to it. People with visual impairment want to be heard and accepted for their talent and potential, while the population insists in recognizing and labeling them only for their disability.

Full textNormal aging as Alzheimer’s disease are characterized by memory disorders, primarily for episodic memory. These two populations also present a sensory and perceptive decline, which are strongly correlated with their cognitive impairment. The links between memory and perception may be easily explained in the embodied cognition theory. Indeed, embodiment states that knowledge dynamically emerges from a single memory system in which knowledge remains grounded in its properties, essentially sensory-motor properties. Consequently, perception and memory are closer than previously thought and the links between perception and memory moving to the foreground. The objective of the present research is to assess the embodied cognition theory applied to normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. To this aim, the nature of the semantic multisensory interactions was tested. According to the multiple memory systems framework, these interactions are indirect and semantic, whereas the embodied cognition theory states that these interactions are direct and perceptual. Young adults, healthy elderly and patients with Alzheimer’s disease completed two experiments. Each experiment was composed of a complete neuropsychological battery and one cross-modal priming paradigm (audition to vision). The novelty of the paradigm was to present a visual meaningless mask for half of the sound primes. Experiment 1 was composed of two distinct phases, whereas the prime and the target were presented in the same trial in Experiment 2. The adaptation of the paradigm in Experiment 2 allowed manipulating the semantic congruency in order to test the attention hypothesis that might underlie the cross-modal interactions. The results demonstrated a significant cross-modal priming effect in young and healthy elderly adults. The mask has interfered with the priming effect only in the semantic congruent situations. The mask interference and its specificity support the direct and perceptual nature hypothesis of the semantic multisensory interactions. This is suggesting that young and elderly adults have modal knowledge. Reversely, the patients with Alzheimer’s disease did not show any priming effect while the effect is perceptual. This result supports the cerebral disconnection hypothesis in Alzheimer’s disease. The data taken together suggest that memory disorders in normal aging could be related to a degradation of the quality of their perception and thus of knowledge. Memory impairments in Alzheimer’s disease might come from an integration disorder to bind dynamically the different components of a memory. The present research support the embodied cognition theory and demonstrates the interest of this kind of approach to explore memory functioning in neuropsychology, such as in aging. These approaches open new avenues of research by focusing on processes rather than systems and by putting on the foreground the interactions between memory and perception.

Full textOur sensorimotor system has developed a specific relationship between our actions and their sonic outcomes, which it interprets as auditory feedback. The development of motion sensing and audio technologies allows emphasizing this relationship through interactive sonification of movement. We propose several experimental frameworks (visual, non-visual, tangible, virtual) to assess the contribution of sonification to sensorimotor control and learning in interactive systems. First, we show that the auditory system integrates dynamic auditory cues for online motor control, either from head or hand movements. Auditory representations of space and of the scene can be built from audio features and transformed into motor commands. The framework of a virtual sonic object illustrates that auditory-motor representations can shape exploratory movement features and allow for sensory substitution. Second, we measure that continuous auditory feedback in a tracking task helps significantly the performance. Both error and task sonification can help performance but have different effects on learning. We also observe that sonification of user’s movement can increase the energy of produced motion and prevent feedback dependency. Finally, we present the concept of sound-oriented task, where the target is expressed as acoustic features to match. We show that motor adaptation can be driven by interactive audio cues only. In this work, we highlight important guidelines for sonification design in auditory-motor coupling research, as well as applications through original setups we developed, like perceptual and physical training, and playful gesture-sound interactive scenarios for rehabilitation
