1. Perform recordings of different noise types in multiple conditions, using headphone prototypes equipped with transducers.
2. Analyze the data, deriving the relevant transfer functions and performing statistics.
3. Organize the dataset for convenient use.
4. Analyze whether the secondary path can be parameterized, and whether this is sensitive in terms of formfactor.
5. Hands-on ANC tuning based on the data gathered.
6. Additional work: Support in setting up automated tests for adaptive ANC.
