Synchronization of ear-EEG and audio streams in a portable research hearing device.

ABSTRACT: Recent advancements in neuroscientific research and miniaturized ear-electroencephalography (EEG) technologies have led to the idea of employing brain signals as additional input to hearing aid algorithms. The information acquired through EEG could potentially be used to control the audio signal processing of the hearing aid or to monitor communication-related physiological factors. In previous work, we implemented a research platform to develop methods that utilize EEG in combination with a hearing device. The setup combines currently available mobile EEG hardware and the so-called Portable Hearing Laboratory (PHL), which can fully replicate a complete hearing aid. Audio and EEG data are synchronized using the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) framework. In this study, we evaluated the setup in t
