In this paper, we present an experiment whose goal was to recognize the role of contextual information in the recognition of environmental sounds. Forty three subjects participated to a between-subjects experiment where they were asked to walk on a limited area in a laboratory, while the illusion of walking on different surfaces was simulated, with and without an accompanying soundscape. Results show that, in some conditions, adding a soundscape significantly improves surfaces' recognition. © 2010 Luca Turchet et al.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an experiment whose goal was to recognize the role of contextual information in the recognition of environmental sounds. Forty three subjects participated to a between-subjects experiment where they were asked to walk on a limited area in a laboratory, while the illusion of walking on different surfaces was simulated, with and without an accompanying soundscape. Results show that, in some conditions, adding a soundscape significantly improves surfaces' recognition. © 2010 Luca Turchet et al.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
