S3E12: Joke Veltman <> Musical Games for Audio Training
Roll on Episode 12!
We’re joined by Joke Veltman, to explore their work and game development for musical and audio training. Joke is a PhD candidate at IQ Health academic center and creator of the Melody Game for Music Training for Cochlear Implant Users. A professional pianist by background, due to a genetic defect, Joke gradually lost her hearing and eventually needed a cochlear implant herself.
In this episode, we explore:
The development of a musical training listening approach, including 1) Habituation, 2) Auditory memory, 3) Attention, and 4) Step-by-step pitch discrimination.
The co-creating and development process of the Melody Game and the game mechanics are integrated into the delivery.
Key lessons for health game designers in the importance of defined goals, team, iteration, and understanding users deeply, especially their emotional barriers and enablers, and to accept that programming requires precision, even when the subject matter (music) is fluid.
