We present a database of acoustic transfer functions of the Hearpiece, an openly available multi-microphone multi-driver in-the-ear earpiece for hearing device research. The database includes HRTFs for 87 incidence directions as well as…
Acoustic noise has adverse effects on human activities. Aside from hearing impairment and stress-related illnesses, it can also interfere with spoken communication, reduce human performance and affect the quality of life. As urbanization is…
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have opened new platforms for human-computer interaction, medical diagnostics, and neurorehabilitation. Wearable BCI systems, which typically employ non-invasive electrodes for portable monitoring, hold…
Interpersonal spoken communication is central to human interaction and the exchange of information. Such interactive processes involve not only speech and spoken language but also non-verbal cues such as hand gestures, facial expressions,…
Simultaneous use of high-end wearable wireless devices like smart glasses is challenging in a dense indoor environment due to the high nature of interference. In this scenario, the millimeter wave (mmWave) band offers promising potential…
This paper considers methods for audio display in a CAVE-type virtual reality theater, a 3 m cube with displays covering all six rigid faces. Headphones are possible since the user's headgear continuously measures ear positions, but…
Straight cylindrical stethoscopes serve as an important alternative to conventional stethoscopes whose application in the treatment of infectious diseases might be limited by the use of protective clothing. Yet their miniaturization is…
The rise of wearable smart devices raises unprecedented opportunities for self-improvement through ubiquitous behavior tracking and guidance. However, the design of effective wearable behavior intervention systems remains relatively…
Devices capable of detecting and categorizing acoustic scenes have numerous applications such as providing context-aware user experiences. In this paper, we address the task of characterizing acoustic scenes in a workplace setting from…
Hand gesture recognition attracts great attention for interaction since it is intuitive and natural to perform. In this paper, we explore a novel method for interaction by using bone-conducted sound generated by finger movements while…
Universal jamming grippers excel at grasping unknown objects due to their compliant bodies. Traditional tactile sensors can compromise this compliance, reducing grasping performance. We present acoustic sensing as a form of morphological…
Background and Objectives: This paper focuses on using AI to assess the cognitive function of older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia using physiological data provided by a wearable device. Cognitive screening tools are…
Earable acoustic sensing offers a powerful and non-invasive modality for capturing fine-grained auditory and physiological signals directly from the ear canal, enabling continuous and context-aware monitoring of cognitive states. As earable…
Changes in body perception influence behavior and emotion and can be induced through multisensory feedback. Auditory feedback to one's actions can trigger such alterations; however, it is unclear which individual factors modulate these…
Social interactions play a crucial role in shaping human behavior, relationships, and societies. It encompasses various forms of communication, such as verbal conversation, non-verbal gestures, facial expressions, and body language. In this…
Digitally presenting physiological signals as biofeedback to users raises awareness of both body and mind. This paper describes the effectiveness of conveying a physiological signal often overlooked for communication: breathing. We present…
Emotional states, as indicators of affect, are pivotal to overall health, making their accurate prediction before onset crucial. Current studies are primarily centered on immediate short-term affect detection using data from wearable and…
Active noise control (ANC) has become popular for reducing noise and thus enhancing user comfort in headphones. While feedback control offers an effective way to implement ANC, it is restricted by uncertainty of the controlled system that…
In this work, a new Physics laboratory experiment on Acoustics beats is presented. We have designed a simple experimental setup to study superposition of sound waves of slightly different frequencies (acoustic beat). The microphone of a…
With the rise of wearables, haptic interfaces are increasingly favored to communicate information in an ambient manner. Despite this expectation, existing guidelines are developed in studies where the participant's focus is entirely on the…
