SIG_HOFMAN1998
- Stimuli from Hofman and Opstal (1998)

Usage:

sig = sig_hofman1998(nprime,f0,Obj,azi,dur,condition)

Input parameters:

nprime Highest altered harmonic. Default is 0.
f0 Fundamental frequency. Default is 125 Hz.
Obj HRTFs as SOFA object.
azi Azimuth. Default is -37 deg.
dur Duration in seconds. Default is 0.1 s.
fs Sampling rate in Hz. Default is 48 kHz.

Output parameters:

sig signal wave form

Description:

sig_hofman1998 generates three types of stimuli having different spectro-temporal characteristics but identical long-term power spectra: noise bursts, frequency-modulated tones, and trains of short noise bursts.

The additional optional parameter condition flag may be one of:

'ILD' ILDs up to nprime set to zero. This is the default.
'ISLD' ISLDs (interaural spectral level differeces) maintained while flattening right-ear HRTF up to nprime.
