Sketching Sounds Dataset

This dataset contains sketches produced by 88 participants in a perceptual study. Participants sketched their associations with 20 synthesised sounds that are included in the dataset. Next to the sketches created on the sounds, the dataset features 2 test sketches (with the keys calmSound and noisySound) that each participant created. The keys for each sound-sketch are in the format drawingInterface_ + sound ID (e.g. drawingInterface_a7ecc7b965e2e7888e2df382514ad101). In addition, sketches for an attention test that asked participants to draw the number 4 are saved under the key drawingInterface_attentionTest.

The JSON file contains the raw sketch data is structured as follows:

{
participant1_id: {
sound1_id: [...],
sound2_id: [...],
sound3_id: [...],
...},
participant2_id: {
sound1_id: [...],
sound2_id: [...],
sound3_id: [...],
...},
.

.
}

Sketch data is saved in the format:

#Sketch array
[#Stroke 1 array
[#Recorded stroke points
[x0,x1,x2,...], #x positions
[y0,y1,y2,...], #y positions
[t0,t1,t2,...], #timestamps
],
#More Stroke arrays

]

The dataset also contains rasterised images generated from the sketch data.
