摘要: Abstract Birdsong is often used as an auditory signal for visually-challenged people in public spaces Japan. However, more than 40% of reported that such signals were difficult to identify. We evoked magnetic field (AEF) responses the human cortex uncover was easy As signal, we focused on birdsong, which currently inform passengers about location stairs train stations presented birdsongs participants silent, noisy, reverberated, and interaural time-delay conditions. analyzed most prominent AEF response, N1m, correlation between birdsong envelopes AEF. found N1m amplitudes maximal when listened song Cuckoo above-mentioned Oriental Scops Owl. Thus, believe songs Owl be candidates optimal signals.
