DEMO_TAKANEN2013 - Demo of the binaural model by Takanen, Santala and Pulkki

Program code:

%DEMO_TAKANEN2013 Demo of the binaural model by Takanen, Santala and Pulkki
%
%   This script generates a figure showing the result of the binaural
%   auditory model by Takanen, Santala and Pulkki (2013) for sound source
%   distributions consisting of different number of sound sources simulated
%   with HRTFs to emit incoherent samples of pink noise. The resulting
%   activity map shows that the activation spreads as the width of the
%   distribution increases, which is in accordance with the results of the
%   psychoacoustical experiment by Santala and Pulkki (2011).
%
%   Optionally, pre-computed cochlear model outputs can be applied to 
%   significantly reduce the required computation time. The pre-computed 
%   cochlear model outputs can be obtained from the authors.
