ABSTRACT Background

The role of auditory and tactile modalities involved in violin playing and evaluation was investigated in an experiment employing a blind violin evaluation task under different conditions: i) normal playing conditions, ii) playing with auditory masking, and iii) playing with vibrotactile masking

to different locations were not. When there was within-modality streaming, temporally coherent auditory stimuli and tactile stimuli were not streamed over time, either. This observation suggests the limitation of temporal coherence theory when it is applied to perceptual grouping over time.

Abstract The present study investigated whether dividing critical information across the hemispheres in the auditory and tactile modalities aids performance more for computationally complex rather than computationally simpler task-a pattern previously observed in the visual modality [Cortex 26

departure warnings given in three modalities---visual, auditory, and tactile (via the driver's seat). The participants were expert snowplow operators. During the field study it became apparent that the HUD was not useful on sharp corners; rather, the visual and tactile modalities became the primary

Two experiments investigated 5-month-old infants ’ amodal sensitivity to numerical correspondences between sets of objects presented in the tactile and visual modes. A classical cross-modal transfer task from touch to vision was adopted. Infants were first tactually familiarized with two or three

The paper specifically presents how linguistic (oral) and tactile references are dealt with in the GEORAL system which has already been described in other papers. In this system, users can formulate their queries and provide their responses using the oral (linguistic) modality and the tactile

in performance for tactile feedback at vibration levels of 9.18g/s. These results suggest that at these levels, feedback should be presented by a different modality. These findings will allow designers to take advantage of sensor enabled mobile devices to adapt the provided feedback to the user’s current context.
