Thread-topic: [AUDITORY] Spatial release of masking in virtual environments with HRTFs determined from extra-large heads

Hi Stuart,

not directly related to SRM with increased ITDs, but these might be of interest:

https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.423088

https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.423107

https://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/10.0004220

Considering the latter, an simple pilot could be done looking at existing auditory models for SRM (e.g. from the https://amtoolbox.org/) and see what happens when using HRTFs with larger ITDs.

We have a PhD student, in collaboration with Eriksholm/Oticon, currently working on adaptation to altered interaural cues - happy to chat more about that!

best

Lorenzo

Does anyone know of relevant articles concerning this topic? It would seem obvious that, at least for ILDs and the better ear effect, bigger could be better (and maybe not), but what about ITDs that are longer than one experiences?

Thanks for any pointers!
