Yes it is Blauert who proposed the directional bands. They are basically 8kHz 
for overhead, 4k for front, and 1k for behind localisation, regardless of 
speaker position, according to Blauert's original paper.  He used 1/3 octave 
band noises. We extended his experiment with more variables of bandwidth, 
speaker position and the temporal characterstics of source (transient vs 
continuous), and found Blauert's findings are valid for 1/3 but not necessarily 
for other variables.  Below are Blauert's and our papers.

pp. 205-213

Hope this helps.

Im talking about directional bands not hrtfs per se and its not guesswork
its the result of years of meticuopus research. Its also not applicable to
this project which does not use headphones and I do not have time to
explain now. Anyone know the answer ? I think it was Bluert ?
