DATA_MACPHERSON2003 - Listener averages of polar error rates

Usage:

data = data_macpherson2003

Output parameters:

data struct containing the data

Description:

data_macpherson2003 returns listener averages of polar error rates (PERs in %) from Macpherson & Middlebrooks (2003).

The data struct contains the following fields:

'density' probed ripple densities in ripples/oct (Exp. I)
'depth' probed ripple depths (peak-to-trough) in dB (Exp. II)
'phase' probed ripple phases in radians (Exp. III)
'pe_flat' PER for flat spectrum
'pe_exp1' increase in PER as a function of ripple density at a ripple depth of 40dB (col. 1: 0-phase, col. 2: pi-phase)
'pe_exp2' increase in PER as a function of ripple depth at a ripple density of 1 ripple/octave (col. 1: 0-phase, col. 2: pi-phase)
'pe_exp3' increase in PER as a function of ripple phase at a ripple density of 1 ripple/octave and a ripple depth of 40dB
