Interaural Coherence

Each acoustic space has its own variety of reflectors causing the reverberant sound arriving at the listener to be different from each direction.

Interaural coherence is a measurement that indicates similarity between the reverberation received by each of the two ears.

A low interaural coherence generally results in a more pleasing sound and a greater feeling of ``immersion''.

Low interaural coherence can be implemented by giving each channel its own reverberator with slightly different parameters.
