New
  • baumgartner2017: sound externalization model
  • baumgartner2016: level-dependent sagittal-plane sound localization model for NH and HI listeners
  • hohmann2002: the gfb_ framework of Gammatone filterbank integrated as hohmann2002 framework
  • kelvasa2015: sound localization in cochlear-implant listeners
  • emuexp: emulation of experiments using interative runs like 3-AFC
  • breebaart2001_centralproc: decision stage from Breebaart et al. (2001).
  • exp_breebaart2001: reproduces results from Breebaart et al. (2001) based on emuexp
  • model initiative: interface to the model initiative (Dietz et al. 2016)
Structural changes:
  • baumgartner2014 decomposed into model stages

  • exp_spille2013 merged into exp_dietz2011

  • directories re-structured:
    • main scripts of a model go to: model. They are called nameyear
    • scripts with model stages (model scripts other than the main one) go to: modelstages. They are called nameyear_postfix
    • scripts not being part of a specific model go to: general. They do not (!) start with model name.
    • scripts generating audio signals go to: signals. They are called sig_nameyear or sig_functionality
    • scripts returning measured data go to: data. They are called data_nameyear
    • scripts with default parameters of other scripts go to: defaults. They are called arg_callingfunction
    • files being compiled to mex files go to: mex. In order to be compiled, they must have the prefix comp_
    • files being compiled to oct files go to: oct
    • other files requiring compilation/installation go to: bin. Their compilation must be considered in make.bat (Windows) and Makefile (Linux/MacOS).
    • HRTFs go to hrtfs. They are in SOFA and will be downloaded on the fly.
    • Lagecy files providing backwards compatibility fo to: legacy
    • binaural, monaural, speech, filters removed
Other updates:
  • dietz2011: minor bug fixes
  • data_joergensen2011: completion of data
  • exp_baumgartner2014: new figures, compatibility improved
  • demo_hohmann2002: new figures
  • installation simplified (amt_mex does all the installation now)

Version 0.9.7 (10.6.2015)

New:
  • Caching of data: see amt_cache and the cache directory.
  • Automatic download of auxiliary data. See amt_load and the auxdata directory.

  • amt_disp introduced for displaying information depending on the start-up condition of the AMT.
  • enzner2008 and exp_enzner2008 split in the model and experiment part.
