Data on neurophysiological and psychological responses to audio immersive experience in stereo and 3D audio formats

ObjectivesThis dataset presents demographic, psychological, auditory and neurophysiological information of 31 volunteers, who participated in an experiment measuring the auditory immersive experience in two audio formats: stereophonic downmix and three-dimensional audio. This dataset could help understand the objectiveness (based on the nervous system response) behind the subjectiveness of immersion brought about by the audio format (based on the listener evaluation). The final objective of this dataset is to study the psychological and neurophysiological responses of immersive attributes in auditory events in future studies.Data descriptionParticipants were randomly assigned to an audio format and attended two listening sessions, where soundscapes of a concert hall and urban park were randomly played. Electroencephalography, electrodermal activity, and blood volume pressure data were collected during auditory stimulation, and psychological responses to the auditory immersive experience were collected at the end of the session.Clinical trial numberNot applicable.
