Even in the most simple of perceptual measurements, monaural loudness,
we know have multiple measures and a lot of uncertainty about which
measure works best, in which conditions.
When mathematicians and physicians bump up into this kind of a
situation, I believe they will then try to empirically upper and lower
bound the problem at the very least.
Has something like this ever been tried even with steady-state loudness
perception, as a meta-analysis of all of the past measurement data?
Either in the wider band, or in a narrow band analysis (perhaps taking
into consideration masking effects as well)? And then, as is relevant to
ambisonic and in particular any attempts to compress it, has anybody
tried to derive those upper and/or lower, extremal, audibility
thresholds from whatever data we already have with regard to source
angle and/or mixed soundfields as well, or to derive new bounds
ampirically?
I'm pretty sure this sort of research could spawn a dissertation or two,
even as a mere meta-analysis. If done right.
