Standing balance is one of the most important elements for the health. Falling accidents, which have increased in recent aging society, are deeply related to standing balance. Therefore, in recent year, many people have been doing research on balance. Currently, the most major research is investigating the relationship between tactile stimuli and balance, but they have a disadvantage to require some large and complicated devices. Thus, in this research, we will attempt an approach using auditory stimuli for research that measures changes in balance. By the way, the sound have various elements. Therefore, in this experiment, we focused on the relationship between sound localization and center of pressure and the results are evaluated by sway path length and sway area as in other balance studies.
