SOUND DESIGN

How understanding the brain can enhance auditory and multisensory design
Sound design is increasingly being applied to the design of products, their packaging and the environment in which those products are placed. Join Charles Spence, Head of Oxford University’s Crossmodal Research Laboratory, with Scott King and Russ Jones of Condiment Junkie to explore how advances in cognitive neuroscience are furthering the understanding of how changing sounds when touching or using a product influences the overall multisensory product experience.
