Program code:

%DATA_TAKANEN2013 Data applied in the model by Takanen, Santala and Pulkki
%   Usage: output = data_takanen2013(flag)
%
%   DATA_TAKANEN2013(flag) returns the data specified by the flag. The
%   optional datasets are either matrices or structs containing data
%   required in the different processing steps of the binaural auditory
%   model by Takanen, Santala and Pulkki (2013). 
%
%   The following flags can be specified:
%
%     'cochleardelays'        Frequency-dependent delays of the cochlea 
%                             model by Verhulst et al (2012) are 
%                             compensated for in the TAKANEN2013_PERIPHERY
%                             function. The delays were determined by 
%                             analyzing the the cross-correlation- 
%                             functions between different frequency bands.
%
%     'msolimits'             In TAKANEN2013_MSO the 
%                             ipsilateral input signals are divided by 
%                             scaling values and thereafter limited between
%                             0 and 1. The scaling values were obtained by
%                             computing the average level of the
%                             TAKANEN2013_PERIPHERY output for a pink noise
%                             signal reproduced at 30 dB SPL
%
%     'wbmsomultp'            In TAKANEN2013_WBMSO the energy output is multiplied
%                             so that the energy of the wide-band MSO model is
%                             in a similar level as compared to the energies
%                             of the narrowband MSO and LSO models. The
%                             values with which the energy output is
%                             multiplied were obtained through an iterative
%                             process.
%
%     'lookuptable'           In TAKANEN2013_DIRECTIONMAPPING, the 
%                             outputs of the different MSO and LSO models
%                             are mapped into directions ranging from -20
%                             to 90. The mapping is implemented following
%                             the idea of self-calibration, where the outputs
%                             of the models are compared separately to sets
%                             of reference values computed with HRTF-processed
%                             samples. The sample employed for the MSO and the
%                             LSO models was a 80-ms-long pink noise burst,
%                             whereas the sample for the wide-band MSO model
%                             was a impulse response of a first-order 
%                             Butterworth lowpass filter with a cut-off 
%                             frequency of 500 Hz
%
%     'onsetmultp'            In TAKANEN2013_ONSETENHANCEMENT
%                             the energies of the short-term and of the 
%                             long-term directional cues are scaled to a 
%                             similar level with the help of a set of pre-
%                             computed values, the values which were
%                             obtained by the computing the average levels
%                             of the two energies for a pink noise burst 
%                             convolved with binaural room impulse response
%                             of a concert hall
%
%     'periphenergyaverages'  In TAKANEN2013_FORMBINAURALACTIVITYMAP
%                             the levels of the what cues are 
%                             scaled in order to visualize the evoked 
%                             activations on the binaural activity map.
%                             The values were obtained by computing the 
%                             average levels of the what cue for a pink 
%                             noise burst reproduced at 60 dB SPL.
%
%     'noplot'                Don't plot, only return data. This is the default.
%
%     'plot'                  Plot the data.
%
%   If no flag is given, the function will print the list of valid flags.
