# Auditory Coding of Reaching Space
## 4 Discussion
The sonification of the invisible target position of the hand as instruction enabled reaching movements with respectable reaching precision. Although the participants were not informed in detail about how the sound was composed and had no previous experience with the use of movement sonification, they were able to use the kinematic acoustics to align their reaching movements. This implicit informational effect became evident, even when the possibility of an additional visual control of the reaching movement was excluded. Based on these results, a considerable benefit of a future application of an improved model of the developed sonification device in the neuromotor rehabilitation of proprioceptively impaired patients can be assumed.
