인터넷의 급속한 발전으로 다가온 디지털 시대는 인간의 삶을 더욱 비접촉적으로 만들어간다. 촉감은 시각과 청각에 비해 중요성이 크게 인식되지 못하지만, 제품의 질을 결정하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 촉감이 중요한 요소이지만 촉감을 직접 느낄 수 없는 환경에서 시각과 청각을 통해 촉감을 느낄 수 있는 방법을 연구하여, 시/청각적 촉감 인터페이스를 구현하는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 시/청각적 촉감 요인을 규명하고, 이를 인터페이스 디자인에 적용 및 평가하였다. 이를 위해 우선 시/청각적 촉감인터페이스의 개념을 제안하고, 시/청각적 촉감인터페이스를 이해하기 위해, 촉감의 신경학적, 생리학적 메카니즘을 연구하였다. 두 번째로 시/청각적 촉감의 요인을 11가지의 감성적 촉감요소와 여러 가지 디자인 촉감요소로 추출하고, 두 요소의 상관관계를 분석하였으며, 이를 시/청각적 촉감 인터페이스 디자인 체크시트를 통해 손쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 마지막으로 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 의류 및 용기를 대상으로 실험 한 후, 13% 상승된 신뢰도를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 시각과 청각을 통한 촉감 구현은 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구는 인터넷 쇼핑몰, 가상 현실 등과 같이 촉감이 중요한 요소이지만 실재로 만져볼 수 없는 대상에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

Perceptual judgement method is frequently used in evaluating dysarthric speech. Although most of speech pathologists and researchers focus on the 38 perceptual features provided by Darley, Aronson & Brown(1969) during evaluation, there are additional characteristics that may be useful to describe dysarthria in literature. We reviewed previous dysarthria literature and selected 46 perceptual characteristics that could be examined at various subsystems of speech production. We also provided explanations and rationale for the rating method for each of the perceptual characteristics. This attempt might aid to offer a basic ground for developing a diagnostic tool of dysarthria.

The purpose of this study is to examine the acoustic characteristics of Parkinsonian speech, with respect to different utterance conditions, by employing acoustic/auditory-perceptual analysis. The subjects of the study were 15 patients (M=7, F=8) with Parkinson's disease who were asked to read out sentences under different utterance conditions (clear/casual). The sentences read out by each subject were recorded, and the recorded speech was subjected to cepstrum and spectrum analysis using Analysis of Dysphonia in Speech and Voice (ADSV). Additionally, auditory-perceptual evaluation of the recorded speech was conducted with respect to breathiness and loudness. Results indicate that in the case of clear speech, there was a statistically significant increase in the cepstral peak prominence (CPP), and a decrease in the L/H ratio SD (ratio of low to high frequency spectral energy SD) and CPP F0 SD values. In the auditory-perceptual evaluation, a decrease in breathiness and an increase in loudness were noted. Furthermore, CPP was found to be highly correlated to breathiness and loudness. This provides objective evidence of the immediate usefulness of clear speech intervention in improving the voice quality of Parkinsonian speech.

This study was to investigate for comparison between single rating and average ratings from multiple presentations of the same stimulus for measuring the voice quality of dysphonia using 7-point equal-appearing interval (EAI) rating scale. Overall severity of voice quality for 46 /a/ vowel stimuli (23 stimuli from dysphonia, 23 stimuli from control) was rated by 3 experienced speech-language pathologists (averaged 19 years; range = 7 to 40 years). For average ratings, each stimulus was rated five times in random order and averaged from two to five times. Although higher inter-rater reliability was found in average ratings than in single rating, there were no significant differences in rating scores between single and multiple average ratings judged by experienced listeners, suggesting that auditory perceptual ratings judged by well-trained listeners have relatively good agreement with the same stimulus across the judgment. Larger variations in perceptual ratings were observed for moderate voices than for mild or severe voices, even in the average ratings.

Social noise survey on multiple residential noises such as nut impact, air-borne, bathroom, drainage and traffic noises was conducted to investigate major variables affecting the overall satisfaction for noise environment The effect of individual noise perception on the evaluation of the overall noise environment was investigated through a questionnaire survey on annoyance, disturbance and noise sensitivity. Auditory experiments was also undertaken to determine noise level according to the percent of satisfaction for individual noise source. As a result of survey, it was found that satisfaction for floor impact noise most greatly affects the overall satisfaction for noise environment and annoyance most greatly affects the satisfaction for individual noise sources. Result of auditory experiment showed that the noise level of floor impact noise by bang machine, airborne, drainage and traffic noise corresponding to 50% satisfaction is 44dB($L_{i,Fmax,AW}$) and 40dBA, respectively.

The effects of the additional visual and auditory stimuli on the loudness evaluation of road traffic noise was investigated by the method of magnitude estimation. As a result, it was shown that additional visual stimulus of noise barrier can influence on the loudness perception of road traffic noise. Also, additional auditory stimuli such as green music or sound of flowing water can influence on the loudness perception of road traffic noise, approximately 5~10% lower than the absence of stimuli. But this effect was disappeared in the range of over 65dB(A).

An auditory-perceptual rating scale has long been utilized in an evaluation procedure of Parkinsonian speech. This study attempted to investigate various variables and appropriate equal-interval rating scale for each variable. We collected speech samples from 27 patients with Parkinsonian speech disorders. A total of 25 variables and descriptions for each variable across phonatory, resonatory, and articulatory dimensions were included in the rating scale. The descriptive parts of each variable could increase the objectivity of the rating scale.

Today, our city structure is being complicated from the development of industry. Invisible losses, life and fortune loss caused by arson is embossed in our society. The preparation of counter plan about increasing factors of fire damage is not easy. With respect to mankind life, however, it is very important. Therefore, the focus of this research examine refuge degree in each smoke density level when a fire break out in the space. I evaluated auditory guide facility thorough real scale test. In this thesis, I will propose the efficient refuge deriving facilities.

The purpose of this study was to find a more effective balance training method. The subjects of this study were 14 children with cerebral palsy (7 males, 7 females) being treated at Seran Pediatric Developmental Research Center in Taegu. Two groups of children with cerebral palsy (everyday trained group, every-other-day trained group) were evaluated with visual & auditory feedback. Evaluation and training device was Balance Performance Monitor (BPM) Dataprint Software Version 5.3. There was statistically significant difference of the balance score between the pre-and the post-training in both group (p<.05), but there was no difference of the balance score between two groups (p<.05). In conclusion, it is likely that the visual and auditory feedback in children with cerebral palsy was effective in improving standing balance, but there was no difference between everyday trained group and every-other-day trained group.
