LYON2011 - Cascade of asymmetric resonators with fast-acting compression (CARFAC) model

Program code:

function [CF, decim_naps, naps, BM, ohc, agc, ihc_potential] = lyon2011(input_waves, CF)
%LYON2011 Cascade of asymmetric resonators with fast-acting compression (CARFAC) model
%   Usage: [CF, decim_naps, naps, BM, ohc, agc] = lyon2011(input_waves,CF);
%
%
%   Input parameters:
%     input_waves      : input_waves is a column vector if there's just one
%                        audio channel; more generally, it has a row per
%                        time sample, a column per audio channel. The
%                        input_waves are assumed to be sampled at the
%                        same rate as the CARFAC model is designed for.
%                        A resampling may be needed before calling this.
%     CF               : The CF struct holds the CARFAC design and state.
%
%   Output parameters:
%     CF               : The CF struct holds the CARFAC design and
%                        state; if you want to break the input up into
%                        segments, you need to use the updated CF
%                        to keep the state between segments.
%     decim_naps       : decim_naps is like naps but time-decimated by
%                        the int CF.seglen (defaults to about 20 ms long).
%     naps             : naps (neural activity patterns) has a row per
%                        time sample, a column per filterbank channel,
%                        and a layer per audio channel if n_ears > 1.
%     BM               : BM is basilar membrane motion (filter outputs
%                        before detection).
%     ohc              : optional extra output for diagnosing internals.
%     agc              : optional extra outputs for diagnosing internals.
%     ihc_potential    : optional extra output for the IHC potential equivalent.
%
%   LYON2011 runs the CARFAC model. That is, it filters a 1 or more channel
%   sound input to make one or more neural activity patterns (naps). This
