    Abstract:
    In this study, an attempt is made to optimize the presentation of information to the operator and to predict improved performance prior to extensive experimental testing. It is shown that by supplying the sensor response more appropriately to the listener, discrimination, as opposed to simple detection, could be achieved. Through additional theoretical treatment of the experimental data, it is demonstrated that improvements can be predicted.
