function [activMap gainMtrx]= takanen2013_contracomparison(thetaL,thetaR,levels,energyL,energyR,fs,printFigs)
%takanen2013_contracomparison Enhanance the contrast between the hemispheres
%   Usage: [activMap gainMtrx]= takanen2013_contracomparison(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).
