SIG_HOFMAN1998
- Stimuli from Hofman and Opstal (1998)

Program code:

function sig = sig_hofman1998(varargin)
%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
%
%   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.
