%culling2005_bmld  Binaural Masking Level Difference 
%
%   Input parameters:
%      coherence    : Maximum of the interaural cross-correlation, the
%                     value should be between 0 and 1.
%      phase_target : Interaural phase difference of target signal,
%                     between 0 and 2pi
%      phase_int    : Interaural phase difference of the interfering
%                     source, between 0 and 2pi
%      fc           : Centre frequency of the frequency channel
%
%   Output parameters:
%      bmld_output  : improvement in predicted signal threshold when 
%                     phase_target and phase_int differ compared to 
%                     when they are the same.
%
%   CULLING2005_BMLD(coherence,phase_target,phase_int,fc) calculates the
%   binaural masking level differencefor a signal in broadband noise. 
%   The input noise coherence and phase must be pre-calculated for the 
%   frequency channel bearng the signal. See JELFS2011 for an example on
%   how to calculate these.
