DEMO_LINDEMANN1986 - Demo of the Lindemann binaural model

Program code:

%DEMO_LINDEMANN1986 Demo of the Lindemann binaural model
%
%   This script generate a figure showing the result of the lindemann
%   binaural model for a 2 Hz binaural modulated sinusoid with a frequency of
%   500 Hz.
%
%   Figure 1: Binaural modulated sinusoid
%
%      This figure shows the binaural activity map for one frequency channel of
%      the lindemann binaural model for a sinusoid with a binaural modulation
%      rate of 2 Hz.
%
%   Figure 2: Sinusoid with ITD
%
%      This figure shows the result of the Lindemann 1986 binaural model
%      averaged over time for the desired frequency channel for a sinusoid
%      with an ITD of 0.3 ms.
