SIG_BOYD2012 - - Stimulus from Boyd et al. (2012)

Program code:

function out = sig_boyd2012(in,source,varargin)
%SIG_BOYD2012 - Stimulus from Boyd et al. (2012) 
%   Usage: out = sig_boyd2012(in,source,mix,azi)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     in      : binaural input signal.
%     source	: monaural source signal.
%     mix     : mixing ratio ranging from 0 to 1. Default is 1 and means 
%               out is same as in.
%     lp      : low-pass cut off frequency. Default is NAN and means
%               broadband.
%     fs      : sampling rate in Hz (only required for low-pass filtering).
%               Default is 48 kHz.
%     azi     : azimuth (positive to the left).
%
%   Output parameters:
%     out     : binaural output signal mixture.
%
%   Time-aligned mixture between individualized binaural stimulus and 
%   head-absent simulation (ITD only).
