takanen2013_cueconsistency - Check the consistency before the cues are combined

Program code:

function [directionCues cueEnergies] = takanen2013_cueconsistency(directionCues, cueEnergies,fc)
%takanen2013_cueconsistency Check the consistency before the cues are combined                 
%   Usage: [directionCues cueEnergies] = takanen2013_cueconsistency(directionCues, cueEnergies,fc)
%
%   Input parameters:
%        directionCues : sturcture containing the directional cues obtained
%                        from the model of the MSO, LSO, and wideband MSO
%                        of the two hemispheres%                    
%        cueEnergies   : sturcture containing the energies of the directional
%                        cues 
%
%        fc            : characteristic frequencies
%
%   Output parameters:
%        directionCues : sturcture containing the directional cues obtained
%                        from the model of the MSO, LSO, and wideband MSO
%                        of the two hemispheres%                    
%        cueEnergies   : sturcture containing the energies of the directional
%                        cues 
%
%   The role of the interaural time shifts, envelope time shifts, and level
%   differences in localization are different in different frequency
%   ranges. In order to emulate this when the directional cues are
%   combined, the consistency of the cues is checked and the energies of
%   the different cues are affected. More detailed description about the
%   process can be found in Takanen, Santala, Pulkk 2013 (Sec. 3.2.4)
