THE DESIGN OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR GREY PARROTS: AN ARTISTIC CONTRIBUTION TOWARD AUDITORY ENRICHMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF ACI

The Design of Musical Instruments for Grey Parrots: An Artistic Contribution toward Auditory Enrichment in the Context of ACI

One particular approach in the context of Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) is auditory enrichment for captive wild animals.Here we describe our research and the methodology used to design musical instruments and interfaces aimed at providing auditory enrichment for grey parrots living in captivity.The paper is divided into three main phases: a pro
