Texture Images

Original Figures for Sensory Substitution Crossmodal Mapping Experiments

Figure 3 with original experimental images is presented below for the following paper:

Auditory Sensory Substitution is Intuitive and Automatic with Texture Stimuli, by N. Stiles and S. Shimojo

We present these figures here for purely scientific purposes, in order that other scientists can replicate these experiments.

Original Figure References

This section references the images used in the experiments (several cannot be shown in the paper due to copyright restrictions).  Images in Figure 3, 4, and 5 were either generated by N. Stiles or obtained online and modified.  The images in Figure 4 and Figure 5 are the same as  Figure 3a column 1, 2, and 4, and Figure 3c column 6.

In Figure 3a, image column 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were generated by N. Stiles.  The images in column 4 were obtained online from the following sources and the modified by N. Stiles: grass (http://tank-battle3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/TankBattle3d/Content/Textures/), brick wall (http://cfrevoir.deviantart.com/art/Seamless-Brick-Wall-Texture-94579094), palm leaf (http://decibel.fi.muni.cz/models/cinema2012/xgoljer1/2/tex/), and the bamboo (http://bgfons.com/download/1603)

In Figure 3b, image column 3, and 7 were generated by N. Stiles.  The images in column 1 were obtained online from the following sources and then mdified by N. Stiles (images in descending order): birch 1 (http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/wallpaper/photography/photos/patterns-landscapes/white-birch-trees/), birch 2 (http://www.art.com/products/p14681429-sa-i3117042/mark-newman-birch-trees-usa.htm), birch 3 (http://elementsofcharlotte.com/blog/ identifying-fall-leaves-in-charlotte/), and birch 4 (http://withlightsteam.com/veniki/).  The images in column 2 were obtained online from the following sources and then modified by N. Stiles (descending order): horizon 1 (http://galleryhip.com/sunset-horizon-line.html), horizon 2 and 3 are no longer available online, horizon 4 (http://dict.space.4goo.net/dict?q=horizon).  The images in column 4 were obtained online from the following sources and then modified by N.
