TAKANEN2013_FORMBINAURALACTIVITYMAP
Steer the what cues on a topographic map using the where cues

Program code:

function [activityMap, colorGains, colorMtrx, levels] = takanen2013_formbinauralactivitymap(thetaL,thetaR,eL,eR,fs,fc,printFigs,printMap)
%TAKANEN2013_FORMBINAURALACTIVITYMAP Steer the what cues on a topographic map using the where cues                 
%   Usage: [activityMap colorGains colorMtrx levels] = takanen2013_formbinauralactivitymap(thetaL,thetaR,eL,eR,fs,fc,printFigs);
%
%   Input parameters:
%        thetaL    : "where" cue of the left hemisphere
%        thetaR    : "where" cue of the right hemisphere
%        eL        : "what" cue of the left hemisphere
%        eR        : "what" cue of the right hemisphere
%        fs        : sampling rate
%        fc        : characteristic frequencies
%        printFigs : boolean value describing whether the computations in
%                    contralateralcomparison are illustrated or not
%        printMap  : optional boolean value describing whether the
%                    resulting activity map is plotted (by default) or not. 
%
%   Output parameters:
%        activityMap : Matrix that describes in which of the six frequency
%                      ranges there is activation on a given location on
%                      the map at a specific time instant
%        colorGains  : Matrix that describes the signal level dependent
%                      gains for the different activation values on the
%                      activityMap
%        colorMtrx   : RGB color codes employed for the different frequency
%                      ranges on the binaural activity map
%        levels      : vector specifying the left/right location
%
%   This function takes as input the where cue values of the left and right
%   hemisphere and the respective what cues. The principle is to create an
%   image for each what cues on the map at locations specified by the where
%   cues, and to enhance the contrast between the hemispheres with a method
%   denoted as contralateral comparison. In each position of the map, there
%   is thought to exist several frequency-selective neurons. For
%   illustrative purposes, the frequencies are divided into six frequency
%   areas and different colors are used for each of them. In the resulting
%   map, different colors indicate different frequencies, brightness of the 
%   colors indicate the energy and the location indicates the direction of
%   the activity.
