	abstract = {The simulation of room acoustics for auralization can have numerous
applications in interactive evaluation environments (e.g., for hearing aid
development), psychoacoustic studies with adaptively changing roomreverberation,
or simulation, rehabilitation, and computer games. A fast
and perceptually plausible method for synthesizing binaural room impulse
responses (BRIR) [Wendt et al., J. Audio Eng. Soc., 62, 11 (2014)]
has been extended to simulate the acoustics of multiple coupled rooms,
that are acoustically connected by doors or wall openings. As for the
single-room simulation method, computational efficiency is achieved by
using a hybrid approach, where the early reflections are calculated as
image sources up to a low order and the reverberation is generated by
efficient feedback delay networks [FDN; Jot and Chaigne, Proc. 90th
AES Conv. (1991)]. The binaurally extended FDNs are designed to account
for the reverberation properties of coupled rooms, as well as for
the spatial distribution of reverberation in the respective rooms, including
the vicinity of the room connections. The suggested BRIR synthesis method
was evaluated by comparing measured and synthesized BRIRs for
connected rooms differing in size and reverberation time using technical
measures and subjective listening tests.}
