Predicted binaural release from masking (BRM, shown on the y-axis) defined as the difference between SRTs of the first condition of experiment I (D₀N₀) and the first condition of experiment III (D_πN₀) using bBSIM-SII. The SII reference values are shown on the x-axis. The red line shows the measured BRM of 7.8 dB. The yellow circle shows the optimal reference SII of 0.28, which allows accurate prediction of the measured BRM and was selected for the following predictions.
