Subject: [AUDITORY] Psychoacoustics with active-noise cancelling headphones From: Guillaume Lemaitre <guillaumejlemaitre@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 09:21:06 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000fc75ea05760c04d4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear list, I would like to know if someone has ever tried to conduct a psychoacoustics experiment with active-noise cancelling headphones. I am wondering whether existing devices would be good enough to cancel out a wideband background noise (such as a train interior noise) and playback stimuli with sufficient accuracy. I have been happy with insert earphones for experiments within an MRI scanner, but I wonder if less expensive consumer audio devices could do the job for environmental background noises. Many thanks !
