Abstract
This study intends to tackle the challenge of Absolute Pitch (AP) training through multisensory stimuli. Recent studies have investigated new methods of AP training; however the results were not satisfactory when compared to the output of natural AP possessors in the context of both success rate and closeness to pitch recognition. This study intends to tackle this challenge with an innovation in auditory learning through the design and development of a technology that will provide tactile sensation to add another stimulus in AP ear training. This will be done by adding haptic feedback as vibrotactile stimuli for participants, alongside tones, simulating an auditory-tactile synesthetic experience. The training design will be conducted for two groups: the experimental group will be trained using both auditory and tactile stimuli while the control group will be trained with the isolated auditory stimuli only. Both the hardware components and software will be developed to accommodate the new training design and the haptic feedback stimuli. A comparative analysis of the results will be performed to determine the effectiveness of the multisensory training as compared to isolated auditory training. The results may validate not only the effectiveness of a multisensory approach to learning, but more so give insights on the effectiveness of both the specific technology and adopted methodology that is used.
