Dataset: "Auditory Localization of Multiple Stationary Electric Vehicles"

<p>This repository contains data accompanying the publication "Auditory Localization of Multiple Stationary Electric Vehicles", published in the&nbsp;<em>Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA)</em>)</p> <p>The following abbreviations are used in the filenames and data</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>c</td> <td>Combustion Noise</td> </tr> <tr> <td>n</td> <td>Noise AVAS</td> </tr> <tr> <td>t</td> <td>Two-Tone AVAS</td> </tr> <tr> <td>m</td> <td>Multi-Tone AVAS</td> </tr> <tr> <td>le</td> <td>Localization Error in &deg;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>lt</td> <td>Localization Time in s</td> </tr> <tr> <td>fl</td> <td>Failed Localizations in %</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The dataset contains:</p> <ul> <li><em>stimuli.zip</em>: Sound pressure of all evaluated stimuli as calibrated 32-bit float .wav files</li> <li><em>trials.zip</em>: Binaural sound pressure recordings of all 72 trials as calibrated 32-bit float .wav files, including parking lot background noise. These recordings were obtained by placing a HeadAcoustics HMS-V artificial head at the listening position. The files are named as <em>TrialNr_Stim1Abbreviation_Stim1PositionInDegree_Stim2Abbreviation_Stim2PositionInDegree_Stim3Abbreviation_Stim3PositionInDegree.wav</em></li> <li><em>experimentProcedure.mp4</em>: Video showcasing the experiment procedure.</li> <li><em>rawData.xlsx</em>: The unprocessed experiment data. Each row represents one individual trial.</li> <li><em>processedData.xlsx</em>: The pre-processed experiment data for each participant. Each column represents the mean localization error (le), mean localization time (lt), or percentage of failed detections (fd) for a single stimulus. E.g., <em>le_mn_m</em> is the mean localization error of the Multi-Tone AVAS, averaged for all 4 trials where Multi-Tone AVAS and Noise AVAS were played simultaneously (TrialNr. 61-64, see Table in Paper).&nbsp;<em>fl_ccc</em> is the percentage of failed localizations for the Combustion Noise in the 4 trials where three combustion sounds were played simultaneously. For the statistical evaluations, participants "HZPS", "TGCI" and "XKOU" have been removed as outliers.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>All stimuli are compliant with both UNECE R138 and US FMVSS 141 as illustrated in Figure 3 of the paper.</p>
