Abstract :
A computational model for prediction of localisation uncertainty of phantom auditory sources is proposed. The interaural level and time difference pairs due to point sources in free field are used as a reference. The mismatch between these “natural” pairs and interaural time and level difference pairs elicited by phantom sources is quantified by means of the 0.5-norm distance, which is justified on psychoacoustic grounds. The model is validated by results of subjective listening tests, achieving a high level of correlation with experimental data.
