Stereo headphone psychoacoustic sound localization system and method for reconstructing stereo psychoacoustic sound signals using same

An apparatus comprising one or more circuits for:

• obtaining a plurality of signal components from an input signal, the plurality of signal components comprising a plurality of perceptual feature components, and further comprising a first-directional signal component, a second-directional signal component, a non-directional signal component, or a combination thereof;
• using at least a pair of filters to filter each of the plurality of signal components into a filtered first-directional signal and a filtered second-directional signal, thereby forming a group of filtered first-directional signals and a group of filtered second-directional signals;
• and
• obtaining a first output signal and a second output signal for outputting and/or analysis, the first output signal comprising a combination of the group of filtered first-directional signals, and the second output signal comprising a combination of the group of filtered second-directional signals.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions for processing a sound-bearing signal, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a processing structure to perform actions comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of signal components from an input signal, the plurality of signal components comprising a plurality of perceptual feature components, and further comprising a first-directional signal component, a second-directional signal component, a non-directional signal component, or a combination thereof;
• using at least a pair of filters to filter each of the plurality of signal components into a filtered first-directional signal and a filtered second-directional signal, thereby forming a group of filtered first-directional signals and a group of filtered second-directional signals;
• and
• obtaining a first output signal and a second output signal for outputting and/or analysis, the first output signal comprising a combination of the group of filtered first-directional signals, and the second output signal comprising a combination of the group of filtered second-directional signals.
