MAY2011_GAMMATONE - Auditory filterbank

Program code:

function [bm,env,GFB] = may2011_gammatone(in,fs,fLow,fUp,nFilter,bEar,bAlign,bInfo)
%MAY2011_GAMMATONE Auditory filterbank
% 
%   Usage:
%     [BM,ENV,GFB] = may2011_gammatone(IN)
%     [BM,ENV,GFB] = may2011_gammatone(IN,GFB)
%     [BM,ENV,GFB] = may2011_gammatone(IN,FS,FLOW,FUP,NFILTER,bEAR,bALIGN,bINFO)
% 
%   Input parameters:
%     IN      : audio object. The gammatone parameter will be initialized
%               using the audio sampling frequency.
%     IN      : mono input signal [nSamples x nChannels]
%     GFB     : gammatone parameter structure (see gammatoneInit)  
%     IN      : multi-channel input signal [nSamples x nChannels]
%     FS      : sampling frequency in Hz
%     FLOW    : center frequency of lowest auditory filter 
%               (default, FLOW = 80)
%     FUP     : center frequency of highest auditory filter 
%               (default, FUP = 5e3)
%     NFILTER : number of auditory filters which will be spaced linear in 
%               the ERB domain. If NFILTER is not a scalar but a vector, the  
%               first value is assumed to represent the number of auditory 
%               channels and the following values represents the indices of 
%               the filters which should be processed. This can be useful if
%               a large number of channels is required as MATLAB might run  
%               out of memory for long signals if all filters should be 
%               computed in one step. 
%               (default, NFILTER = round(freq2erb(FS/2))
%     bEAR    : Adjust gain coefficients of the auditory channels to 
%               incorporate middle ear effects. Note that this feature can 
%               only be used if the center frequencies of the auditory 
%               channels are above 20 Hz and below 12500 Hz.
%               (default, bEAR = true)
%     bALIGN  : phase-aligned gammatone output (non-causal output)
%               (default, bALIGN = false)
%     bINFO   : info flag printing gammatone parameters on the screen
%               (default, bINFO = false)
% 
%   Output parameters:
%     BM      : basilar membrane displacement [nSamples x nFilter]
%     ENV     : instantaneous envelope        [nSamples x nFilter]
%     GFB     : gammatone parameter structure 
% 
%   MAY2011_GAMMATONE applies gammatone filtering using the gammatone
%   structure derived from gammatone_init. If only the basilar membrane 
%   output "bm" is required, computing BM = gammatone(...);
%   will be significantly faster then computing the envelope as well:
%   [BM,ENV] = gammatone(...);
% 
%   The MEX implementaion is based on the source code of the ohio-state 
%   university: www.cse.ohio-state.edu/pnl/shareware/roman-jasa03/
% 
%   Example:
%
%     nSamples = 500;
%     % Initialize gammatone parameter structure
%     GFB = may2011_gammatone_init(20e3);
%     % Filter impulse with gammatone filtering 
%     bm = may2011_gammatone([1; zeros(nSamples-1,1)],GFB);
%     % Plot result
%     waveplot(1:nSamples,GFB.cf,bm);
