Statistics of the instantaneous interaural parameters for dichotic tones in diotic noise (N₀S _ψ ).

ABSTRACT: Stimuli consisting of an interaurally phase-shifted tone in diotic noise-often referred to as N ₀ S _ψ -are commonly used to study binaural hearing. As a consequence of mixing diotic noise with a dichotic tone, this type of stimulus contains random fluctuations in both interaural phase- and level-difference. We report the joint probability density functions of the two interaural differences as a function of amplitude and interaural phase of the tone. Furthermore, a second joint probability density function for interaural phase differences and the instantaneous cross-power is derived. The closed-form expression can be used in future studies of binaural unmasking first to obtain the interaural statistics and then study more directly the relation betw
