My research investigates the perception of sounds commonly encountered in built environments through controlled laboratory experiments. Key focus areas include:
Methodological approaches to sound-quality evaluation
Perceptual studies of diverse sounds in built environments
Psycho-physiological evaluations of sounds (e.g., fEMG and EEG)
Multisensory assessments, integrating sound with other stimuli (e.g., vibration)
