The study investigates the effects of SoniWeight Shoes, a wearable sound device, on altering body perception through auditory feedback. It explores individual differences in body perception across various measures and provides insights for personalized sonification strategies. The research contributes empirical knowledge to the field by addressing the role of individual differences in altering body perception.
The study involved 84 participants with varying levels of eating disorder symptomatology and physical activity. Three sound conditions (low-frequency, high-frequency, control) were tested on extensive body perception measures. Results showed significant impacts of sound conditions on various aspects such as quickness, weight, strength, straightness, masculinity, proprioception, surprise, agency, emotional valence, and more.
Participants reported feeling quicker and lighter in the high-frequency condition compared to low-frequency and control. They also felt heavier in the low-frequency condition than high-frequency and control. The study also analyzed gait biomechanics, leg movement acceleration, muscular activations, lateral hip sway angles based on different sound conditions.
Overall findings suggest that SoniWeight Shoes have a significant impact on altering body perception through auditory feedback. Individual factors like eating disorder symptomatology and physical activity levels play a crucial role in modulating these effects.
