Estimation of Asymmetry in Head Related Transfer Functions [PDF]
International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications, 2022 The individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) typically show large left-right ear differences. This work evaluates HRTF left-right differences by means of the rms measure called the Root Mean Square Difference (RMSD). The RMSD was calculated for

Speech intelligibility with various head-related transfer functions: A computational modelling approach [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 Speech intelligibility (SI) is known to be affected by the relative spatial position between target and interferers. The benefit of a spatial separation is, along with other factors, related to the head-related transfer function (HRTF).

Ear Centering for Accurate Synthesis of Near-Field Head-Related Transfer Functions
Applied Sciences, 2022 The head-related transfer function (HRTF) is a major tool in spatial sound technology. The HRTF for a point source is defined as the ratio between the sound pressure at the ear position and the free-field sound pressure at a reference position.
