Subject: [AUDITORY] Looking for an alternative to etymotic ER 1 in-ear headphones for EEG testing From: "Ziereis, Annika Carina" <a.ziereis@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:12:30 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_12d481b4b486484cb7f79119c6f79aa8studunigoettingende_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list, I am looking for an alternative to the Etymotic in ear headphones (ER 1) be= cause they are currently out of stock (and we have to buy for our departmen= t new headphones by the end of the year). As I am no expert in sound processing or the technical specifications it is= quite hard for me to compare different models. The reason for our interest in the etymotic ER 1 was because they should re= produce the same frequency response for speech as would be produced in a re= al live situation. Furthermore we want in-ear headphones for our EEG studies because we want = to avoid the issue with the pressure of over-ear headphones on lateral elec= trodes. We used speakers before but we now plan to conduct experiments where we nee= d to control for lateralization (mono-/binaural presentation). I am aware that also the etymotic speakers are not electrically shielded, s= o it would be even better if there exist a model that includes that as well= . Has anybody ideas or experiences with alternative in-ear headphones for EEG= research (on human speech)?
