breebaart2001_centralproc - Binaural and monoaural signal detector from Breebaart et. al. 2001

Program code:

function decision = breebaart2001_centralproc(EI_map,monol,monor,bimonostring,monofactor)
%breebaart2001_centralproc   Binaural and monoaural signal detector from Breebaart et. al. 2001
%   Usage: decision = breebaart2001_centralproc(EI_map,monol,monor,bimonostring);
%          decision = breebaart2001_centralproc(EI_map,monol,monor,bimonostring,monofactor);
%
%   Input parameters:
%        EI_map         : binaural representation of the signal (from breebaart2001_eicell)
%        monol          : internal representation of the left ear signal
%        monor          : internal representation of the right ear signal
%        bimonostring   : defines which representations are used for the decision
%        monofactor     : sets the parameter for monaural detection
%                         (optional)
%  
%   Output parameters:
%        decision       : index of the estimated target
%   
%   BREEBAART2001_CENTRALPROC(EI_map,monol,monor,bimonostring,monofactor) serves
%   as an artificial observer for signal detection purposes. The
%   central processor develops a template which consists of the average
%   internal representation of all masker-alone intervals and its variance.
%   Furthermore the average signal interval and the average distance 
%   between masker template and signal template is computed. Then the
%   weighted distance U between template and actual stimulus is calculated. 
%   The higher U, the greater the likelihood that a signal is present. 
%   Thus, in a 3-IFC procedure the model will choose the interval with the 
%   highest value of U. After each trial the model recieves feedback and
%   stores the avaluated intervals in the templates. 
%   
%   The parameter bimonostring must contain characters indicating which 
%   channels are used for the decision:
%
%     'l'     use left mono channel (from monol*)
%
%     'r'     use right mono channel (from monor*)
%
%     'b'     use binaural channel (from EI_map ) only if the binaural representation
%             yield a non-zero decision distance
%
%     'B'     use binaural channel in any case
