baumgartner2014_gradientextraction - - Extraction of positive spectral gradients

Program code:

function [gp,gfc] = baumgartner2014_gradientextraction(mp,fc,c2)
%baumgartner2014_gradientextraction - Extraction of positive spectral gradients
%   Usage:      [gp,gfc] = baumgartner2014_gradientextraction(mp,fc)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     mp      : spectral magnitude profile in dB
%     fc      : center frequencies
%
%   Output parameters:
%     gp      : positive spectral gradient profile
%     gfc     : center frequencies of gradient profile
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014_GRADIENTEXTRACTION(...) is a spectral cue extractor
%    inspired by functionality of dorsal cochlear nucleus in cats.
