Abstract: A handheld device for sonifying electrical signals obtained from a subject is provided. The device can utilize at least one of several operations including (but not limited) digitizing signals from electrodes, adjusting the signals based on accelerometer input, filtering the signals, conditioning the signals according to conditioning parameters, modulating the signal according to sound synthesis parameters, and generating sound from the representations of the signals to accomplish sonification. The device can include an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter to digitize the one or more electrical signals and a processor that receives the one or more digitized electrical signals and produces a representation of an acoustic signal. The device further includes a speaker system that sonifies the representation of the acoustic signal.
