Thread-topic: [AUDITORY] Who coined the term "head-related transfer function"?

HRTF appears in a 1983 comment in the JOURNAL OF THE AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY, Volume: 3, Issue: 1,Pages: 760-760

PHASE REFERENCE IN HRTF CALCULATION

By:COOPER, DH

I'm not sure if that is the first occurrence. Blauert called this the FFTF (Free field transform function) in 1974.

Subject: [AUDITORY] Who coined the term "head-related transfer function"?

Dear all,

does anyone know who coined the term "head-related transfer function"? The first mention in a paper (as far as I have been able to determine) is by Frederic Wightman and Doris Kistler in 1988, but they write: "...the free-field-to-eardrum transfer function (sometimes called the head-related transfer function, or HRTF)...", which sounds like there must be an earlier source.

Best,

Marc
