Psychophysical customization of directional transfer functions for virtual sound localization
Abstract
The accuracy of virtual localization when using nonindividualized external-ear transfer functions can be improved by scaling the transfer functions in frequency [Middlebrooks, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, 1493–1510 (1999)]. The present letter describes a psychophysical procedure by which listeners identified appropriate scale factors. The procedure ran on nonspecialized equipment, took as little as 20 min, and could be used successfully by inexperienced listeners. Scale factors obtained from the psychophysical procedure approximated factors computed from acoustical measurements from individual listeners. Roughly equivalent virtual-localization accuracy was obtained using scale factors derived from acoustical measurements, from the psychophysical procedure, or from listeners’ physical dimensions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
