LI2020 - Sound externalization in reverberant spaces

Program code:

function [E] = li2020(target_direct,template_direct,target_brir,template_brir,varargin)
%LI2020 Sound externalization in reverberant spaces
%
%   Usage:    E = li2020(target_direct,template_direct,target_brir,template_brir)
% 
%   Input parameters:
%     target        : binaural impulse response or head-related impulse response
%                     of the target sound. Matrix dimensions: time x receiver.
%     template      : binaural impulse response or head-related impulse response
%                     of the template sound. Matrix dimensions: time x receiver.
%                     Note that the dimensions of target and template must be
%                     identical.
%     target_brir   : target binaural room impulse response
%     template_brir : template binaural room impulse response
% 
%   Output parameters: 
%     E         : predicted degree of externalization
%
%
%   Examples:
%
%   Anechoic signal (rendered with HRTFs or direct sound part of BRIRs):
%
%     E = Li2020(tar_HRIR,tem_HRIR,[],[],'stim',stimulus,'fs',44100,'fsstim',44100,'flow',200, 'fhigh',16000, 'space',1);  
%
%   Reverberant signal (rendered with BRIRs with unkonwn direct sound part):
%
%     E = Li2020([],[],tar_BRIR,tem_BRIR,'stim',stimulus,'fs',44100,'fsstim',44100,'flow',200, 'fhigh',16000, 'space',1);  
%
%   Reverberant signal (rendered with BRIRs with konwn direct part (HRTFs)):
%
%     E = Li2020(tar_BRIR_dir,tem_BRIR_dir,tar_BRIR,tem_BRIR,'stim',stimulus,'fs',44100,'fsstim',44100,'flow',200, 'fhigh',16000, 'space',1);  
%
%   The implementation is based on baumgartner2021.m
