BMLD
Returns the binaural masking level difference

Usage:

[bmld_out] = bmld(coherence,phase_target,phase_int,fc)

Input parameters:

coherence interaural coherence
phase_target phase of the target signal
phase_int phase of the interferer
fc center frequency [Hz]

Description:

bmld returns the frequency-dependent binaural masking level difference as a function of the interaural coherence and the target's and interferer's phase relation
