This paper reports an educational experience with 75 graduate students on action preparation as a function of sound semantics. In 6 hours of lesson and by working in groups, students are able to investigate modulations in motor preparation timing induced by sounds that fall within their peri-personal space (PPS) in non-visual virtual reality setting. The proposed protocol is designed so as students can learn by doing and analyze human motor planning of a simple action in reaction to approaching-looming sound sources rendered via headphones. The interesting aspect here is that we give students the opportunity to directly experience the close connection between sound and movement; in particular, auditory perception stimulated by sounds conveying different emotional contents, is modulated within the individual PPS in terms of action anticipation and distance perception.

Abstract

This paper reports an educational experience with 75 graduate students on action preparation as a function of sound semantics. In 6 hours of lesson and by working in groups, students are able to investigate modulations in motor preparation timing induced by sounds that fall within their peri-personal space (PPS) in non-visual virtual reality setting. The proposed protocol is designed so as students can learn by doing and analyze human motor planning of a simple action in reaction to approaching-looming sound sources rendered via headphones. The interesting aspect here is that we give students the opportunity to directly experience the close connection between sound and movement; in particular, auditory perception stimulated by sounds conveying different emotional contents, is modulated within the individual PPS in terms of action anticipation and distance perception.
