insig | binaural signal for which the cross-correlation should be calculated |
fs | sampling rate (Hz) |
crosscorr | A matrix containing the cross-correlation signal for every frequency channel fc and every time step n. The format of this matrix is output(n,m,fc), where m denotes the correlation (delay line) time step. |
t | time axis for the time steps n in crosscorr |
ild | interaural level difference (ILD) for every freqeuncy channel fc |
cfreq | center frequencies of every frequency channel |
lindemann1986(insig,fs) calculates a binaural activity map for the given insig using a cross-correlation (delay-line) mechanism. The calculation is done for every frequency band in the range 5-40 Erb.
Lindemann has extended the delay line model of Jeffres (1948) by a contralateral inhibition, which introduce the ILD to the model. Also monaural detectors were extended, to handle monaural signals (and some stimuli with a split off of the lateralization image). Hess has extended the output from the Lindemann model to a binaural activity map dependent on time, by using a running cross-correlation function. This has been done here by starting a new running cross-correlation every time step T_int. A detailed description of these cross- correlation steps is given in the lindemann1986_bincorr function.
The steps of the binaural model to calculate the result are the following:
You may supply any flags or key/value pairs of the auditoryfilterbank, ihcenvelope or lindemann1986_bincorr at the end of the line of input arguments.
This example shows how to the binaural activity map for one frequency channel of the Lindemann binaural model for a sinusoid with a binaural modulation rate of 2 Hz. :
fs = 44100; % Sampling rate f = 500; % Frequency of the sinusoid mf = 2; % Binaural modulation frequency % Generate 1~s binaural modulated sinusoid sig = sig_lindemann1986(f,mf,fs); % Model parameter (Note: T_int (ms) should be a multiple of 1000/f == 2) % Begin of the storage of the cross-correlation is set to 1, because we have a % non-stationary signal % Calculate binaural cross-correlation [cc,t] = lindemann1986(sig,fs,'T_int',6); % Plot frequency channel 11, due to round(freqtoerb(500))==11 plot_lindemann1986(cc,t,'fc',f); |
