Audible display for experimental data from analytical chemistry, designed to incorporate auditory parameters exhibiting continuity in scaling and relative independence from each other. His display consisted of data vectors, each dimension of which corresponded to the detected levels of various metals in a given sample, with one vector per sample. The analysis task involved classifying a given vector as belonging to one of four sets, after having been trained with vectors from those four sets. Although Yeung did not compare the performance of his subjects using the auditory display with that of any other display, he noted that all of his subjects achieved the 98% correct classification rate after (at most) two training sessions.
