Subject: Participants wanted for an online study on pig sound
classification

Dear Angenmap member
We are conducting an online research study at ETH Zrich on how people
categorize pig vocalizations, and we are inviting participants from a wide
range of backgrounds.
We are explicitly interested in participation from:
• people with professional or practical experience with animals (e.g.,
veterinarians, animal caretakers, farmers, animal welfare professionals),
• people with experience in sound or listening-related fields (e.g.,
musicians, bioacousticians),
• and people without any particular experience with animals.
In the task, you will listen to short audio recordings and group the sounds
into categories. No prior knowledge is required. The task takes
approximately 2030 minutes and can be completed online.
The survey is designed for completion on a tablet, laptop or desktop
computer and is not optimised for smartphones.
We do not collect identifying information such as names or dates of birth.
You may participate if you are 18 years or older and have no hearing
impairment that would substantially affect sound perception. Participation
is unpaid, voluntary, and you may stop at any time before submitting your
responses. To preserve the scientific quality of the study, we kindly ask
that you do not discuss the task or the sounds with others until data
collection is complete.
If you are interested in participating, please use the link below:

If you know others, with or without experience with animals, who might be
interested in contributing, we would appreciate it if you could forward
this invitation to them.
If you have any questions, please contact us at wim.gorssenusys.ethz.ch.
Kind regards
Wim Gorssen
