“This chapter give a broad introduction to sonification, and discusses the guiding theoretical considerations for sonification researchers and designers. It brings in many of the insights from relevant domains of research, and offers areas where future researchers could answer unresolved questions or make fruitful clarifications or qualifications to the field. While the chapter stands on its own as an overview of sonification, in many cases the interested reader is pointed to another more detailed chapter in this book, or to other external sources for more extensive coverage.” (Walker & Nees)
