function [activMap gainMtrx]= takanen2013contracomparison(thetaL,thetaR,levels,energyL,energyR,fs,printFigs)
%TAKANEN2013CONTRACOMPARISON Enhanance the contrast between the hemispheres
% Usage: [activMap gainMtrx]= takanen2013contracomparison(thetaL,thetaR,levels,energyL,energyR,fs,printFigs);
%
% Input parameters:
% theraL : "where" cue of the left hemisphere
% thetaR : "where" cue of the right hemisphere
% levels : vector specifying the left/right location
% energyL : "what" cue of the left hemisphere
% energyR : "what" cue of the right hemisphere
% fs : sampling rate
% printFigs : boolean value describing whether the computations are
% illustrated or not
%
% Output parameters:
% activMap : Matrix that describes in which of the six frequency
% ranges there is activation on a given location on
% map at a specific time instant
% gainMtrx : Matrix that describes the signal level dependent
% gains for the different activation values on the
% activity map
%
% The contralateral comparison is used to control the strengths of the
% images on the binaural activity map. More specifically, the where cues
% define positions of the images and an inhibitory coefficient is used to
% reduce the strength of the image more closer to the center.
% Additionally, inherent delays are introduced to the inhibition to
% emulate the binaural adaptation found in the IC (McAlpine et. al.
% 2000).
