Short-term Effects of Sound Localization Training in Virtual Reality

Imperial College London provides a dataset and software supporting a Scientific Reports publication on short-term effects of sound localization training in virtual reality. The repository includes a README.txt file describing its contents. The associated LIMSI Spatialization Engine used to spatialize sounds is not redistributed due to licensing restrictions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the short-term efficacy of auditory training protocols based on VR-based training described in the manuscript.
• Benchmarking sound localization performance metrics based on the experimental data collected.
• Developing software for auditory spatialization experiments based on the provided code repository.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in Scientific Reports.
• Software code is provided alongside the data, supporting reproducibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• A key component, the LIMSI Spatialization Engine, is not included in the repository.
