BMSIN - Generate a binaural modulated sinus

Program code:

function outsig = bmsin(fc,mf,fs)
%BMSIN Generate a binaural modulated sinus
%   Usage: outsig = bmsin(fc,mf,fs)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       fc  : carrier frequency of the sinus (Hz)
%       mf  : binaural modulation frequency (Hz)
%       fs  : sampling rate (Hz)
%
%   Output parameters:
%       outsig  : fs x2 sinusoid signal
%
%   BMSIN(fc,mf,fs) generates an binaural modulated sinusoid with a
%   carrier frequency of f and a frequency moving around the two ears of
%   mf.

% ------ Computation --------------------------
% Create a one second time 
t = (1:fs)/fs;
% Left signal
sigl = sin(2*pi*fc.*t);
% Right signal with amplitude modulation
sigr = sin(2*pi*fc.*t + sin(2*pi*mf.*t));
outsig = [sigl' sigr'];
% Scale outsig
outsig = outsig / (max(abs(outsig(:)))+eps);
