概要	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.	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.	Independent Vector Analysis (IVA) is a multivariate extension of Independent Component Analysis that jointly separates multiple datasets while maintaining dependencies within each dataset. Developed by Lee, Lewicki, and Sejnowski in the 2000s, IVA is used for blind source separation in multi-channel audio, brain imaging, and signal processing. It exploits both the independence between sources and correlations within frequency bands or time-frequency structures.
