Schematic representation of the complete RIR (top row), the modified RIR of the first experiment (2nd row), truncated after 75 ms, and the modified RIR of the second experiment (bottom row), where reflections were zero’ed after the direct sound and up to 75 ms. In all experimental conditions the direct sound is always present in the RIR and not cut out. RIRs were scaled to keep the overall stimulus level constant across conditions, preserving the ratio between the direct sound and individual reflections.
