Abstract: A headset for placing on a head of a subject includes a device and a cover over the device. At least a portion of the cover is made from a see-through material such that a portion of the head of the subject is viewable through the cover.

Abstract: A headset for placing on a head of a subject is provided. The headset includes a device including a probe. The headset further includes at least one adjustable mechanism configured to adjust a fit of the headset such that the device is aligned with an acoustic window of the head of the subject.

Abstract: One embodiment of a rigid enclosure 101 with window or openings 102 so that an audio effect producing apparatus 130 approximately aligned to the openings is contained within and partially viewable to the operator. The enclosure is made of a rigid protective material and in an embodiment screens electromagnetic interference from the outside. The enclosure contains necessary hardware and additional openings to attach control electronics 114, knobs, switches 113, and pass-throughs for electrical signals such as power 112, input 110, and output 111 which can be located anywhere on the enclosure.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a probe structure is provided. In some embodiments, the probe structure includes a probe body. In some embodiments, the probe structure further includes a plurality of fingers adapted to extend outwards from the probe body. In some embodiments, the probe structure further includes a spring including a plurality of coils adapted to wrap around the probe body and compressed between a compression plane and probe body. In some embodiments, the end coil of the plurality of coils is configured to encircle the plurality of fingers. In some embodiments, the compression plane is a grip held by a human operator. In some embodiments, the compression plane is a robotic end effector that positions itself over any topography.
