Abstract
A binaural hearing model has recently been suggested for the evaluation of the performance of virtual acoustic imaging systems. The model considers excitation-inhibition (EI) cell activity patterns as the internal representation of sound localisation cues, and a pattern-matching procedure with a frequency-weighting scheme produces the estimate of source location in the horizontal plane. Given the reasonable prediction of some important features in human sound localisation and lateralisation, this paper presents a further verification and application of the model in actual listening tests. In this work, participants’ responses to stereophonic images have been compared with the predictions of the model, individually established from the subject’s own HRTF. Model predictions have been found to be both qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the test results, and in particular, the agreement between 2 and 3 kHz gave a good indication that, unlike some similar models, the current model can effectively incorporate both ITD and ILD information according to their relative importance.
