Abstract

Changes in body perception influence behavior and emotion and can be induced through multisensory feedback. Auditory feedback to one's actions can trigger such alterations; however, it is unclear which individual factors modulate these effects. We employ and evaluate SoniWeight Shoes, a wearable device based on literature for altering one's weight perception through manipulated footstep sounds. In a healthy population sample across a spectrum of individuals (n=84) with varying degrees of eating disorder symptomatology, physical activity levels, body concerns, and mental imagery capacities, we explore the effects of three sound conditions (low-frequency, high-frequency and control) on extensive body perception measures (demographic, behavioral, physiological, psychological, and subjective). Analyses revealed an impact of individual differences in each of these dimensions. Besides replicating previous findings, we reveal and highlight the role of individual differences in body perception, offering avenues for personalized sonification strategies. Datasets, technical refinements, and novel body map quantification tools are provided.

SoniWeight 鞋：调查用于改变身体感知和行为的可穿戴声音设备的效果和个性化设计

身体感知的变化会影响行为和情绪，并可通过多感官反馈诱发。对个人行为的听觉反馈可以引发这种变化；然而，目前还不清楚是哪些个体因素调节了这些影响。我们采用并评估了 SoniWeight Shoes，这是一种基于文献的可穿戴设备，通过操纵脚步声来改变人的体重感知。我们以健康人群为样本，研究了三种声音条件（低频、高频和控制）对广泛身体感知测量（人口、行为、生理、心理和主观）的影响。分析表明，个体差异对上述每个方面都有影响。除了重复以前的研究结果，我们还揭示并强调了个体差异在身体感知中的作用，为个性化声波策略提供了途径。我们还提供了数据集、技术改进和新颖的人体图量化工具。
