A patient wearing headphones in a quiet and comfortable ambience will be exposed to several audio tracks instead inkblot cards.
The audio tracks could be loops of confuse and inespecific sounds; may be
reversed audio. Some resemblance with voices, familiar sounds, crash noises , screams ,breath,
etc. could be starting points.
The listener must give the analyst, impressions about the hearing; just like a standard Rorschach test.
In early stages, a good amount of sounds and volunteers would be required to validate the test against well known techniques, in order to get a standard for this novel technique.

I once thought I heard pianos playing in a cafeteria where
the chair legs scraped against the tiled floor. What
medicine should I be taking? |

Welcome to the Halfbakery, [piluso]. |
|
| |
This seems like a great idea. Makes a lot of sense. |
|
| |
I think this is brilliant. I'm not sure of its (or the
visual Rorschatz's) diagnostic utility, but the whole
idea of "half-heard sounds" and their ability to
provoke imaginative responses is interesting. |
|
| |
"Don't remember that inkblot ... or that one ... no ... no ... no ... oh, yes, now that one rings a bell ..." |
|
| |
// crash noises , screams ,breath, // |
|
| |
If those are "familiar noises" to you, that's definitely a matter for concern. |
|
| |
After technology improves, we can do this with smells too. |
|
| |
This would probably work best if the "confuse(d) and inspecific sounds" were variants on pink noise. See [link] for various testimonials. |
|
| |
Sounds like a really good idea to me! |
|
| |
+ I like this a lot. I hear you are new to the hb but don't get used to any comforable ambience here. |
|
| |
I managed to recall the term I was searching for (probably assisted by the random noise of the HB): auditory pareidolia [link]. Some references indicate that it may be most easily observed using a single headphone monotically (one ear only.) |
|
| |
// + I like this a lot. // |
|

Sp. "I like this a lot. [+]" |
|
| |
// I hear you are new to the hb // |
|
| |
Sp. "I see you are new to the hb", unless
you're using speech synthesis on your
terminal device? |
|
| |
// but don't get used to any comforable // |
|
| |
"comforable" ? As in "Something that makes
the place somehwere you want to come to" ? |
|
| |
// monotically (one ear only) // |

Oh, and welcome to the HB too. |

Catching roaches while testing an Audi? Sounds good. |

Welcome to the Halfbakery. Very interesting concept. [+] |
|
| |
My personal experience is that we tend to try and pick out
and identify the source of nearly every sound we hear, to a
far greater degree than with visual media. It seems very
difficult to be cognizant of a sound on its own, without tying
it to some identifiable object that is making the sound.
Thus, sounds we can hear but not identify are very
disconcerting. |
|
| |
Almost certainly, then, subjects will primarily attempt to
describe the sound, rather than the feeling it evokes. Of
course, they're tied to each other—a person who perceives a
sound as “violent” is more likely to identify the source of
the sound as something violent. But I wonder if there's
some benefit to asking people NOT to try and identify the
sounds, but rather to say describe how the sound makes
them feel or what it makes them think about. I wonder if
that's even possible for people to do. |
|
| |
I also would be very interested in the difference in
responses given by blind people—particularly those who are
blind from birth, and so never had the same focus on the
visual world as the sighted. |
|
| |
I found myself trying to identify what material was used in a sound in a television commercial meant to convey an impact. I don't think a cardboard box was struck, but maybe it was a fabric covered container. |
|
| |
I also am prone to doing this when I am prone, or supine, at night when woken by sounds outdoors. Being cursed with excellent hearing doesn't help any. |
|
| |
Thanks for the welcome :-)
As curiosity; the first insight of this was long time ago; when a lot of people did say to hear subliminal,even satanic, messages in vynil records played in reverse by hand. At digital age, the songs are easily reversed, and nobody hear those messages anymore; so all was pure suggestion. From there to Rorschach is just a little step. |
|

TED have a talk about finding out hackers by listening
to the data. |
|
| |
I was working with a genius at IBM who was able to
identify the bugs in my Audio processing code, by
listening to the results. There would be a slight hiss
somewhere in the recording. "Ah, you forgot to align
the numbers in the third parameter on line 493." |
|
| |
Somebody told me the "Paul is Dead" record was put
out by the Beatles themselves in order to advance
their records sales, but now I read the history of the
hoax on wikipedia, and it seems it was not so. |

for [8th]
I meant to say //hear// as it's an audio idea.
I misspelled comfortable which I will leave as a sign of my bad spelling.
I can use the + in anyway I want, as there are no rules about that.

Dr: "Ok, tell me what you hear." |
|
| |
Patient: "Hmm. That's a recording of people having sex." |
|
| |
Patient: "More people having sex." |
|
| |
Dr: "You certainly seem obsessed with sex." |
|
| |
Patient: "Me? You're the one playing all the dirty audio recordings." |

(Updated for the 3 people out there who haven't heard the inkblot version) |
|
| |
But seriously, (not that that was funny,) this is a very clever idea. I'm thinking you could get a lot more insight into people's psyche with this than with the ink blot test. |

You know what might be interesting? Have them listen to instrumental music and write what they envision. |

Audio psychotherapists exist.

Been giving a lot of thought to synesthesia lately.

+ have you ever read "misheard lyric"? |

Many of them are amazingly comical until you start reading
the misheard lyrics that you, yourself believed were the
actual lyrics. |
