DEMO_LYON2011_COMPRESSIVEFUNCTIONS - compressive Input-Output (I/O) function of the CARFAC model

Program code:

%DEMO_LYON2011_COMPRESSIVEFUNCTIONS compressive Input-Output (I/O) function of the CARFAC model
% 
%   The I/O function of the 'cascade of asymmetric resonators with fast-acting 
%   compression' (CARFAC) modelis calculated by the RMS of the out in response 
%   tones at intensities from 10 to 100 dB SPL at the CFs of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz. 
%   The nonlinear compressive shape of the I/O function represents the cochlear 
%   mechanical compression.
