Inside-Outside: 3-D music through Tissue conduction

Eliciting an auditory perception by means of mechanical transduction bypassing the peripheral hearing apparatus has been recorded as early as the 16 century. Excluding its audiometric use to assess ear pathology, bone and soft tissue conduction has received very little interest until the last two decades. Previous work during this time (Stanley and Walker 2006, MacDonald and Letowski 2006) has indicated robust lateralisation is feasible via mechanical transduction. This paper reports on an extension to this work, adding the front-back and up-down axes.
