%EXP_BREEBAART2001   Figures from Breebaart et al.(2001a and 2001b)
%   Usage: output = exp_breebaart2001(flags)
%
%   EXP_BREEBAART2001(flags) reproduces experiments from the 
%   Breebaart et al (2001a and 2001b) papers.
%
%   The following flags can be specified;
%
%     'a_fig2'   Reproduce Fig. 2 from Breebaart et al. (2001a):
%                Output of the peripheral preprocessor for a 500-Hz tone
%                (left panel) and a 4000-Hz tone(right panel) of 100-ms
%                duration. The output is caluculated for a filter which
%                is nearest to the frequency of the tone.
%
%     'a_fig6'   Reproduce Fig. 6 from Breebaart et al. (2001a):
%                Left panel: Idealized EI-activity for a wideband diotic
%                noise (0-4000 Hz) with an overall level of 70 dB SPL
%                (offset = default = 100 dB) for an auditory filter
%                which is nearest to the frequency of the tone.
%                Right panel: change in the activity pattern of the left
%                pannel if a 500-Hz interaurally ou-of-phase signal
%                (Spi) is added with a level of 50 dB (offset = default
%                = 100 dB). Both signal and master have a duration of 1
%                second and the figures show the mean output of the
%                first 100 ms.
%
%     'b_fig3'   Reproduce Fig. 3 from Breebaart et al. (2001b):
%                N0Spi thresholds as a function of the masker bandwidth
%                for a constant overall level of the masker. The six
%                panels represent center frequencies of 125, 250, 500,
%                1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz, respectivly. The filled squares
%                are model predictions from Breebaart et al. (2001b).
%                The stars are model predictions calculated with our
%                implementation of the Breebaart model for a combination
%                of binaural and monaural decisions. The open squares
%                are data adapted from van de Par and Kohlrausch (1999).
%
%     'b_fig6'   Reproduce Fig. 6 from Breebaart et al. (2001b):
%                NpiSo thresholds as a function of masker bandwidth for
%                125-Hz (upper-left panel), 250-Hz (upper-right-panel),
%                500-Hz (lower left panel), and 1000-Hz center frequency
%                (lower-right panel). The open sybols are data adapted
%                from van de Par and Kohlrausch (1999), the filled
%                symbols are model preictions from Breebaart et al.
%                (2001b) and the stars are model predicitons calculated
%                with out implementation of the Breebaart model for a
%                combination of binaural and monaural decisions.
%
%     'fig1_vandepar1999'         Reproduce Fig.1 from van de Par and
%                                 Kohlrausch for the N0S0 condition:
%                                 N0S0 thresholds as a fuction of the
%                                 masker bandwidth expressed in
%                                 signal-to-overall-noise power ratio.
%                                 The six panels show data at various
%                                 center frequencies. The circels are
%                                 experimental data and the stars are
%                                 model predicitions calculated with our
%                                 implemntation ot the Breebaart model
%                                 using the monaural decision.
%
%
%   Further, cache flags (see amtcache) and plot flags can be specified:
%
%     'plot'    Plot the output of the experiment. This is the default.
%
%     'noplot'  Don't plot, only return data.
%
%   Figure 3 of Breebaart et al. (2001b) can also be calculated using the
%   interface of the model initiative. Assuming a model interface
%   waiting for binaural signals in a directory DIR, use
%   EXP_BREEBAART2001('b_fig3','redo','ModelInitiative','directory',DIR);. The AMT
%   will start the experiment, collect the responses from the model server,
%   and plot the figure.
