Audio is frequently paired with visuals, and sometimes vice versa, for didactic, exploratory, and engagement purposes. This paper systematically reviews such practices across their main usage context: (a) the academic domain, including standard visualizations of sound and didactic examples of sonification (including auralization); (b) creative tools that generate sound from visual input; ...

Audification maps data directly to sound using uniform time scaling. We previously introduced a rule-based framework that classifies time signals into one of 15 morphology classes and assigns class-specific time-scaling factors, evaluated across 591 real-world signals from 8 scientific domains and 251 synthetic control signals. That framework only ever produces a class label, a confidence...

4565. The Role of Sound and Auditory Displays in Telescope Control Rooms: A Pilot Study (FA2026/107)Sara Lenzi (University of Deusto, Ikerbasque Basque Foundation for Science)09/09/2026, 15:00A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design
Astronomers are often stereotyped as gazing at the stars, but today they receive digital data from remote observatories. One of the most advanced and complex is the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, managed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Multiple streams of information converge in the VLT control room, where telescopes and instruments are managed, with operators handling...

This paper presents a participatory and personalised approach to the sonification of sleep EEG data. While existing sleep technologies primarily rely on visual and abstract representations, this work explores how sound can be used as a meaningful medium for engaging with sleep. An in-depth, single-participant, iterative design study was conducted combining EEG data collection with three...

MM AbdAlhamid (Independent Researcher)09/09/2026, 15:40A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design
Sound-driven design requires methods that transform complex source data into auditory stimuli in ways that remain transparent, reproducible, and suitable for evaluation. This contribution presents a workflow for generating listening-ready stimuli from molecular vibrational structure and examining how specific design decisions influence the resulting auditory experience. The primary...
