概要	Ambisonics is a full-sphere spatial audio encoding and reproduction technique that captures and reproduces three-dimensional sound fields. Developed by Michael Gerzon in the 1970s, it uses spherical harmonics to represent sound at all directions around a central point. Unlike surround systems that use discrete channels, Ambisonics provides a format-agnostic spatial representation that can be rotated, translated, and rendered to any speaker configuration.	The Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) describes how the human head, ears, and torso filter sound from different directions. HRTFs capture the acoustical changes that occur as sound travels around the head to reach each ear, enabling the perception of sound location in 3D space. Measured or modeled HRTFs are essential for creating convincing 3D audio through headphones in virtual reality, spatial games, and immersive audio applications.	Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) are a compact representation of audio features that mimic human auditory perception. Introduced by Davis and Mermelstein in 1980, MFCCs are the de facto feature extraction method for speech recognition and environmental sound analysis. They compress the frequency information of audio signals into a small set of coefficients that capture phonetic content while discarding irrelevant details.
