5.5 a) Ml does not fall in the initial or final "dangerous" zones, b) Ml falls in<br />
the "dangerous" zone, c) both Ml and Mr fall in "dangerous" zones. In the<br />

5.6 Effect of changes in the intensity of the sound signal. The sound source (a<br />
mobile phone) is located on the left si<strong>de</strong> of the head at a constant distance.<br />
On the left: mean values obtained for cue 1. On the right: mean values<br />
obtained for cue 4. The upper and lower lines are the mean values plus and<br />
minus one standard <strong>de</strong>viation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64<br />
5.7 Effect of changes in the distance of the sound source. The sound source (a<br />
mobile phone) is located at distances such that Di>Di-1. The sound intensity<br />
is constant. On the left: mean values obtained for cue 1. On the right: mean<br />
values obtained for cue 4. The upper and lower lines are the mean values<br />
plus and minus one standard <strong>de</strong>viation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65<br />

5.11 Mo<strong>de</strong>l of attention. The feature maps must represent the same physical space<br />
than the activation map. If sensors do not provi<strong>de</strong> such values, a mapping<br />
would have to be done. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 74<br />
5.12 State of the feature and activation maps. On the left column the figures show<br />
the visual and auditive feature maps. On the right column the figures show<br />
