Echocardiography is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to view the heart. The audio starts with the sound of a heartbeat. This represents my data, the echoes of a human heart. As the audio progresses, we hear multiple heartbeats joining in, symbolizing my dataset increasing in size, variety, and also quality. Echocardiography is a noisy technique, which is evident in the different qualities of heartbeats heard. Then, we hear the sounds of typing, mouse clicks, and day-to-day work. The typing also varies with my mood - you hear frustrated key smashes, violent backspaces, and sometimes the rapid beats of triumph or tentative keystrokes, a new idea perhaps? Background conversations depict my collaboration with doctors and meetings with my supervisors, where we discuss research ideas and next steps. The typing continues - me building my model, running it, refining it. Towards the end, we hear only one heartbeat, indicating that my model is “learning.” The audio concludes with a sigh of relief.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHeartbeats from BBC Sound Effects and natural recordings; field recordings of office work environment; voices/conversation from BBC Sound Effects and vocals of creator.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Process\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eI used heartbeat recordings from BBC Sound Effects, as well as recordings from using a stethoscope. I recorded the typing sounds at different locations, using wireless keyboards, my laptop, and mouse clicks, to maximize variety and also to indicate the different workplaces (lab, apartment, cafes). The \"background conversation\" was depicted in two parts: a recording of my own voice and an audio file from BBC Sound Effects (Library reading room, University of Warsaw). I used the Audacity app to combine the different tracks. I varied the sound quality, added noise, fade-ins and fade-outs, and also echo effects in the heartbeat tracks to highlight the nature of echocardiography and ultrasound imaging. By layering these tracks, I wanted to simulate the environment of working at the intersection of medicine and machine learning. Finally, I normalized the entire project to ensure consistent loudness and exported the audio as a WAV file. Ultimately, the goal was to capture a soundscape that reflected the dual nature of my research—developing deep learning models and the conversations, collaborations, and contemplation when working with medical images.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons licence, Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0): see \u003ca href=\"creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\"\u003ecreativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\u003c/a\u003e.
