"The cross-modal perception of auditory and visual stimuli is explored mostly with animals. ... little research have [sic] been done in the area of cognitive aspects of simultaneous visual and auditory stimuli in dynamic environments."
Briefly suggest that there may be some potential in the separation of listening and viewing points.

"Sonification is defined as the use of nonspeech audio to convey information. More specifically, sonification is the transformation of data relations into perceived relations in an acoustic signal for the purposes of facilitating communication or interpretation."
"...understanding the perception of sonified data is key to the success of any sonification application."
"Multimodal interaction (e.g., between visual and auditory displays) are poorly understood, yet critically affect most sonification applications."
Because humans are remarkably sensitive to small changes in audio frequency and other time-based changes or differences, sonification is useful for understanding complicated temporal data or changing data embedded within static data. Additionally, unlike the eyes, the ears need not be oriented in any particular direction in order to sense a stimulus or a change in stimulus.
