Binaural processing can be modeled by equalisation-cancellation followed by low-pass filtering

Evidence

The binaural pathway of the model is the same in both models. It is realised as an equalisation-cancellation process followed by a low-pass filtering with a first-order low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 8 Hz. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3478

Categorization

• DEFINE: Identifies the standard binaural model structure: equalization-cancellation then temporal integration via an 8 Hz low-pass.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3478
• XREF: connects to: Signal processing compensates reproduction deviations through equalization; Binaural hearing yields up to 18 dB detection advantage for low-frequency signals; Binaural masking level differences reach 25 dB only for overlapping masker and target — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3463 (+1 more)
