sig_vanderheijden1999 - Tone masked by delayed noise(s) with varying ITD

Usage:

stimulus = sig_vanderheijden1999(c_itd,c_sphase,c_noise_mode,c_tone_level,fs,dur,cos_rise_time,bw,fc,spl)

Input parameters:

c_itd interaural time difference(s) of the masking noise component(s) (in s)
c_sphase IPD of target tone
c_noise_mode 1 for a single-delayed noise, 2 for opposingly delayed noises (known as double-delayed noise)
c_tone_level tone sound pressure level (in dB)
fs sampling rate (in Hz)
dur duration of stimulus (in s)
cos_rise_time duration of the cosine ramp at start and end of signal (in s)
bw overall bandwidth of stimulus (in Hz)
fc center frequency of inner band noise and the target tone (in Hz)
spl spectral sound pressure level of the noise (in dB)

Description:

sig_vanderheijden1999 creates a tone masked by either a single delayed noise or two opposingly delayed noises (known as double-delayed noise) with varying ITD.
