Ok, I saw the paper, finally.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR6ZJn12I2DqsMmExGD3JgF33sHbahvJN6-ktymBKZAPv01wzWXpcS34RGob4W24HlO08kb0Ta320Up/pub
I highly doubt that the creation of “involuntary head movements” does
anything especially good, not being synchronized with your/anybody’s
real head movements - or say the (complete) perceptual system. (Which
“could” integrate visual, acoustical, orientation and movement cues.)
This “what you could expect” interpretation is in line with your finding:
“Later evaluation showed no statistical difference between the amount
of correct localized sound with or without oscillation applied.”
As we know that headtracking “helps” to improve front/back hearing,
isn’t it that the conventional way is better than the “proposed new
method”?
The question had to be asked...
Still a valuable result, in my view:
“Don’t move sound sources in artificial ways.”
😉
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: The tested method might introduce (noticeable) tonal artefacts, btw.

Jakob, admittedly not having checked your test:
With which kind of cues “you”/your method would be able to
distinguish between front and back directions?
I guess you need either some hrtf cues, or headtracking, or “moving
sources”. (The fashionable 8/16/32D audio on YT; but a fashion which
also seems to go away...)
Can you elaborate?
Speaking about “a new technique to enhance the localization of
sounds in binaural music”.
So what is “new”, in your case?
Best,
Stefan

I recently finished the evaluation of the listening test I made
about the effect of an oscillating sound source for the
localization of sounds in binaural music.
I wrote a little paper about it. You can find it

Thank you a lot for your comments!
I'm happy that I included also the option to add comments
directly to the test because I got recently a lot of helpful input
which I suppose was mostly coming from the sursound discussion
group :)
Regarding the front/back confusion: unfortunately, this is still
a huge problem, and I'm not sure if my method can help with that.
I would still encourage you to do the test and have your best and
first guess if the signal is coming from the front or back. It
still could be that the front/back confusion is overall really bad
but maybe slightly better with my method.
I did not include hard left, right and center because my method
is not really helping with the perception of these directions that
are already quite good perceived.
Another reason was to have not too many questions for the test,
thus keeping it short.
