HEAD-RELATED TRANSFER-FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN-SUBJECTS

Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) were measured on 40 human subj ects for 97 directions of sound incidence, covering the entire sphere. Individual HRTF data for the median, horizontal, and frontal planes a re presented in the frequency domain. Measurements were made synchrono usly at both ears, thus making the time representations, that is, the head-related impulse responses (HRIRs), valid also when interaural tim e differences are considered. The measurements were made at the entran ce to the blocked ear canal. Sound at this point contains full spatial information, and the interindividual variation is lower than at the o pen ear canal.
