Yes, we should measure speaker output in each rig. Rig metadata should have calibration curves. Session metadata should include stimuli used in the experiment (e.g., dB).
Working on this while consulting Galen and Anna, who have proper auditory research experience/training. Apparently we have been borrowing the measurement device from Shawn's group but we should have one for 446/447.
Right now this is hard coded at 60 dB in the default settings. I'm not sure how this level is set. Is that a thing that needs to be calibrated? Should this value get placed in the rig metadata? Or does it belong in the session metadata because it could be a parameter that gets changed on a session by session basis?
UPDATE: We should determine a calibration scheme for the sound level. The bonsai workflow needs to be modified to allow sound calibration, and the setting should be saved in Setting_box.csv. Then we need to calibrate each rig. In progress here: https://github.com/AllenNeuralDynamics/dynamic-foraging-task/pull/475
