bramslow2004_specloudn
Specific and total loudness from an excitation pattern

Usage:

[E_Vector, TotLoudn]= bramslow2004_specloudn(E_Vector, E_0, E_TQ, E_UCL,HTLL, NoChan, E_Beg, E_End, Binaural)

Input parameters:

E_Vector Excitation (in dB) per ERB band.
E_0 Excitation (in dB) per ERB band at the SPL of 0 dB.
E_TQ Excitation (in dB) per ERB band at the hearing threshold (TQ).
E_UCL Excitation (in dB) per ERB band at the UCL.
HTLL Hearing threshold levels interpolated along the ERB scale to obtain SPL (in dB) of the 4152 coupler.
NoChan Number of output channels (equally distributed on the ERB scale).
E_Beg Lowest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 3 Cams).
E_End Highest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 32 Cams).
Binaural Flag considering the type of listening. If true, binaural listening is assumed. If false, monaural listening is assumed.

Output parameters:

E_Vector Specific loudness (in sone) in the ERB bands.
TotLoudn Total loudness (in sone) across all ERB bands.
