The Auditory Modeling Toolbox

  • Chapter
The Technology of Binaural Listening

Part of the book series: Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing ((MASP))

Abstract

The Auditory Modeling Toolbox, AMToolbox, is a Matlab/Octave toolbox for developing and applying auditory perceptual models with a particular focus on binaural models. The philosophy behind the AMToolbox is the consistent implementation of auditory models, good documentation, and user-friendly access in order to allow students and researchers to work with and to advance existing models. In addition to providing the model implementations, published human data and model demonstrations are provided. Further, model implementations can be evaluated by running so-called experiments aimed at reproducing results from the corresponding publications. AMToolbox includes many of the models described in this volume. It is freely available from http://amtoolbox.sourceforge.net

Notes

  1. 1.

    Much of the cooperation on the AMToolbox takes place within the framework of the AabbA group, an open group of scientist dealing with aural assessment by means of binaural algorithms.
