Abstract
An approach for auditory attention control was applied to an experimental environment with one main and one background task. The participants used the system for two periods, one with pure visual and the other with auditory enhanced attention control. The investigation and findings are reported in this paper. The findings indicate that the userpsilas concentration on the main task, in terms of fewer user errors, is better and the response times to critical events in the background is shorter with auditory enhanced attention control. The usability of the system was furthermore confirmed by the participants. Thus, the targeted use of auditory attention control is proposed as contribution to the efficient use of a computer system.
