Self-produced sound: Tightly binding haptics and audio

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of self-produced sound and its importance in understanding audio-haptic interaction. Self-produced sound is an important stimulus in understanding audio-haptic interaction because of the tight binding between the two modalities. This paper provides background on this type of sound, a brief review of the asynchrony and neurophysiology research that has addressed the cross-modality interaction, and examples of research into self-produced sound, including a unique but common instance: sound produced when consuming food. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
