McClure says the project is a shining example of the fundamental value of a liberal arts education. McClure says he sees applications of the technology in financial trading, intensive care medicine, factory process, control air traffic control, security monitoring, soldier awareness and markets with unmanageable flows of critical real time data with resulting data comprehension and response time errors. “The audio interpretation of the information will be an alternative or complement to the visual analysis to reduce visual data overload.” “The ear can process certain kinds of information better than the eye, especially if the information changes over time,” said McClure, principal investigator for the project and also a faculty member at the Eastman School of Music and Paul Smiths College.
AUDIO OVERLOAD NSF SOFTWARE
The project, titled “Music in the Numbers,” is driven by novel sonification software that produces sound by translating numerical sequences of archived and real-time data, applicable to industries that could benefit from the ongoing interpretation of big data using non-speech audio to represent the data. Faculty member Glenn McClure has received a $50,000 National Science Foundation Innovation Corps-National Innovation Network Teams grant to explore the interpretation and representation of large amounts of data through non-speech audio such as music.
