baumgartner2016_comparisonprocess - - Comparison with direction-specific templates

Usage

sigma = baumgartner2016_comparisonprocess(tar,tem)

Input parameters

tar discharge rate profiles of target sounds (fields: tar.m for magnitude and tar.sd for standard deviation)
tem discharge rate profiles of templates (fields as for tar)

Output parameters

sigma internal distance metric

baumgartner2016_comparisonprocess(...) compares discharge rate profiles on the basis of the quotient between rate difference and auditory nerve variance (May and Huang, 1997; Reiss et al., 2011)
