| Abstract |
|
"The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of sonification research, including the current status of the field and a proposed research agenda. This paper was prepared by an interdisciplinary group of researchers gathered at the request of the National Science Foundation in the fall of 1997 in association with the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD)."

p.5
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.
