The Audible Human Project: Seeing and Touching Sound in the Body

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z-6ZZwCxh8

The Visible Human Project of the National Library of Medicine has aided in the development of numerous medical advances, from improving imaging diagnostics to simulating surgical procedures using haptics and virtual reality. We are developing a comparable Audible Human Project to accurately simulate the production, transmission and noninvasive measurement of naturally-occurring sounds associated with, for example, pulmonary and cardiovascular function. It also simulates the body’s response to externally introduced sounds, for example via vibration at the skin surface, as is used in noninvasive dynamic elastographic imaging methods based on ultrasonic, magnetic resonance or optical imaging modalities. In this webinar we’ll introduce the Audible Human Project and the latest version of the free executable program bearing its name. We’ll also explore its future integration into scalable haptic augmented reality environments for advancing healthcare through improved training, diagnostics and treatment planning. Support from NIH Grant EB012142 is acknowledged.
