| summary | Recent research has revealed links between auditory perception and bodily perception. I would like to introduce our studies showing that body-related sounds can affect tactile perception, body representations, and our emotional responses. Events occurring close to our bodies typically stimulate our auditory and tactile senses at approximately the same time. We found that sounds presented close to the head typically influence tactile sensation on corresponding body surfaces. Recently we also found that such close sound could modulate our emotional responses. When voices implicitly presented close to the ear, people tend to show their preference towards the voices compared to voices presented far from the ear. Interactions between hearing and somatosensation can also occur from sound we generate by our body movement. Every our body movement, such as walking, can generate impact sounds. Recent our studies showed that our perceptual system uses such strong connections between auditory and body actions when maintaining the body representation. |
