BAUMGARTNER2016 - Level-dependent model for localization in sagittal planes

Usage

[p,rang,tang] = baumgartner2016( target,template )
[err,pred,m] = baumgartner2016( target,template,errorflag )

Input parameters

`target`	binaural impulse response(s) referring to the directional transfer function(s) (DFTs) of the target sound(s).
`template`	binaural impulse responses of all available listener-specific DTFs of the sagittal plane referring to the perceived lateral angle of the target sound
`label`	2-element cell array including labels used for caching. Provide listener ID (e.g., 'NH12') in label{1}, and target condition information in label{2}.

Output parameters

`p`	predicted probability mass vectors for response angles with respect to target positions 1st dim: response angle 2nd dim: target angle
`rang`	polar response angles (after regularization of angular sampling)
`tang`	polar target angles (usefull if sagittal-plane HRTFs are extracted directly from SOFA object)
`err`	predicted localization error (acc. to performance measure defined in errorflag
`pred`	structure with fields p, rang, tang
`m`	item list from virtual experiment. See `help localizationerror` for format description.

baumgartner2016(...) is a model for sound-source localization in sagittal planes (SPs). It bases on the comparison of internal sound representation with a template and results in a probabilistic prediction of polar angle response.

baumgartner2016 accepts the following optional parameters:

`'ID'`	Listeners ID (important for caching).
`'Condition'`	Label of experimental condition (also for caching).
`'fs',fs`	Define the sampling rate of the impulse responses. Default value is 48000 Hz.
`'S',S`	Set the listener-specific sensitivity threshold (threshold of the sigmoid link function representing the psychometric link between transformation from the distance metric and similarity index) to S. Default value is 1.
`'lat',lat`	Set the apparent lateral angle of the target sound to lat. Default value is 0 degree (median SP).
`'stim'`	Define the stimulus (source signal without directional features). As default temstim is used.
`'fsstim'`	Define the sampling rate of the stimulus. Default value is 48000 Hz.
`'temstim'`	Define the dummy stimulus used to create the templates. The default is Gaussian white noise with a duration of 170 ms.
`'SPL',L`	Set the SPL of the stimulus to L dB. Default value is 60dB.
`'SPLtem',Lt`	Set the SPL of the templates to a specific SPL of LtdB if Lt is a scalar or define a SPL range between Lt(1) and Lt(2)dB if Lt is a two-element vector. Default range is 40 to 70dB.
`'flow',flow`	Set the lowest frequency in the filterbank to flow. Default value is 700 Hz.
`'fhigh',fhigh`	Set the highest frequency in the filterbank to fhigh. Default value is 18000 Hz.
`'space',sp`	Set spacing of auditory filter bands (i.e., distance between neighbouring bands) to sp in number of equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs). Default value is 1 ERB.
`'do',do`	Set the differential order of the spectral gradient extraction to do. Default value is 1 and includes restriction to positive gradients inspired by cat DCN functionality.
`'bwcoef',bwc`	Set the binaural weighting coefficient bwc. Default value is 13 degrees.
`'polsamp',ps`	Define the the polar angular sampling of the current sagittal plane. As default the sampling of ARIs HRTF format at the median SP is used, i.e., ps = [-30:5:70,80,100,110:5:210] degrees.
`'mrsmsp',mrs`	Set the motoric response scatter mrs within the median sagittal plane. Default value is 17 degrees.
`'cohc',cohc`	OHC scaling factor: 1 denotes normal OHC function (default); 0 denotes complete OHC dysfunction.
`'cihc',cihc`	IHC scaling factor: 1 denotes normal IHC function (default); 0 denotes complete IHC dysfunction.

'fiberTypes=fT Types of the fibers based on spontaneous rate (SR) in': spikes/s: \(fT=1\) for Low SR; \(fT=2\) for Medium SR; \(fT=3\) for High SR. Default is \(fT = 1:3\) .

baumgartner2016 accepts the following flags:

`'zilany2014'`	Use the model from Zilany et al. (2009,2014) for spectral analysis. This is the default.
`'gammatone'`	Use the Gammatone filterbank for spectral analysis.
`'SPLtemAdapt'`	Set SPL of templates acc. to target (Lt=L).
`'NHtem'`	No adaptation of templates to hearing impairment, i.e., templates are processed with cohc=cihc=1 and fT = 1:3.
`'ihc'`	Incorporate the transduction model of inner hair cells used by Dau et al. (1996).
`'noihc'`	Do not incorporate the IHC stage. This is the default.
`'regular'`	Apply spline interpolation in order to regularize the angular sampling of the polar response angle. This is the default.
`'noregular'`	Disable regularization of angular sampling.
`'errorflag'`	May be one of the error flags defined in `baumgartner2014pmv2ppp` or `localizationerror`.
`'redoSpectralAnalysis'`
	Flag to redo also spectral analysis based on `zilany2014` model.
