*Haptical : perceptive layer / sense through skin, muscles and tendons.
**Binaural : Production and listening technique that requires headphones to isolate each ear canal, generating different perceptual, spatial and cognitive effects.
*Hàptica : Capa perceptiva / sensorial a través de la pell, la musculatura i els tendons.
**Binaural : Tècnica de producció i escolta que requereix auriculars per a aïllar cada canal auditiu, generant diferents efectes perceptius, espaials i cognitius.
*Hàptica : Capa perceptiva / sensorial a través de la piel, la musculatura y los tendones.
**Binaural : Técnica de producción y escucha que requiere auriculares para aislar cada canal auditivo, generando distintos efectos perceptivos, espaciales y cognitivos.
