LI2020
Sound externalization in reverberant spaces

Usage:

E = li2020(target_direct,template_direct,target_brir,template_brir)

Input parameters:

target_direct Binaural impulse responses or head-related impulse response of the target sound. Size: (time x ear).
template_direct Binaural impulse response or head-related impulse response of the template sound. Size: (time x ear).
target_brir Binaural room impulse responses of the target.
template_brir Binaural room impulse responses of the template.

Output parameters:

E Predicted degree of externalization.

Description:

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
