Over half of the world's tropical forests are used for timber extraction by selective logging. Even though these degraded to a variable degree, they still important forest biodiversity. It is not yet known how biodiversity impacted during and immediately after logging, fast it recovers. Here, we use ecoacoustics, specifically recording analysis soundscape dawn time series, monitor immediate imp...

exhibit as an artificial organism, integrating a large number of sensory modalities, and let it interact with visitors using a multitude of effector systems. Ada used a language of sound and light to communicate its moods, emotions, and behaviors. Here we describe the mechanisms behind Ada's sound communication, its real-time performance, and its interpretation by human subjects.

Horror games form a peculiar niche within game design paradigms, as they entertain by eliciting negative emotions such as fear and unease to their audience during play. This genre often follows a specific progression of tension culminating at a metaphorical peak, which is defined by the designer. A player’s tension is elicited by several facets of the game, including its mechanics, its sounds, ...

The majority of people in the European Union is exposed to environmental sound between 50 and 60 dBA,Lden[1]. General reduction of sound levels in this intensity range is difficult to achieve by classical acoustic means and nonacoustic factors play an important role in this exposure range. Furthermore, the annoying properties of sounds with the same intensity can vary widely and are not conside...
