| Research Abstract |
As a basis of social life, functions of self-centered spatial experience were analyzed to aim at assisting individuals with cognitive impairments. The results from tests of perception under controlled acoustic presentation showed that binaural time and spectral differences were used for object orientation and distance respectively to form virtual self-other space with visual cues in brain working memory which execute higher behaviors. Finally, a simplified test method on social functions was proposed for diagnosis as well as therapy and exercise evaluation.
