lopezpoveda2001 - Dual Resonance Nonlinear Filterbank

Program code:

function [outsig, fc] = lopezpoveda2001(insig,fs,varargin)
%lopezpoveda2001  Dual Resonance Nonlinear Filterbank
%   Usage: outsig = lopezpoveda2001(insig,fs);
%
%   LOPEZPOVEDA2001(insig,fs) computes the Dual Resonance Non-Linear (lopezpoveda2001)
%   filterbank of the input signal insig sampled at fs Hz with channels
%   specified by the center frequencies in fc. The lopezpoveda2001 is described in
%   the paper Lopez-Poveda and Meddis (2001). The lopezpoveda2001 models the basilar
%   membrane non-linearity.
%
%   This version of the lopezpoveda2001 incoorperate the middle-ear filter used in
%   Lopez-Poveda and Meddis (2001).
%
%   The lopezpoveda2001 takes a lot of parameters which vary over frequency. Such a
%   parameter is described by a 1 x2 vector [b a] and indicates
%   that the value of the parameter at frequency fc can be calculated by
%
%       10^(b+a*log10(fc));
%
%   The parameters are:
%
%     'flow',flow    Set the lowest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    flow. Default value is 80 Hz.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh  Set the highest frequency in the filterbank to
%                    fhigh. Default value is 8000 Hz.
%
%     'basef',basef  Ensure that the frequency basef is a centre frequency
%                    in the filterbank. The default value of [] means
%                    no default.
%
%     'middleear'    Perform middleear filtering before the actual lopezpoveda2001
%                    is applied using the middleear filter specified in
%                    Lopez-Poveda and Meddis (2001), and compensate for
%                    the effect of the filter after lopezpoveda2001 filtering. 
%                    This is the default.
%
%     'nomiddleear'  No middle-ear filtering. Be carefull with this setting,
%                    as another scaling must then be perform to convert the
%                    input to stapes movement.
%  
%     'bothparts'    Compute both the linear and the non-linear path of
%                    the lopezpoveda2001. This is the default.
%
%     'linonly'      Compute only the linear path.
%
%     'nlinonly'     Compute only the non-linear path.
%
%     'lin_ngt',n    Number of cascaded gammatone filter in the linear

%                    part, default value is 4
%
%     'lin_gain',g   Gain in the linear part, default value is [4.20405 ...
%                    .47909].
%
%     'lin_fc',fc    Centre frequencies of the gammatone filters in the
%                    linear part. Default value is [-0.06762 1.01679].
%
%     'lin_bw',bw    Bandwidth of the gammatone filters in the linear
%                    part. Default value is [.03728  .78563]

%                    Cutoff frequency of the lowpass filters in the
%                    linear part. Default value is [-0.06762 1.01679 ]

%                    Number of cascaded gammatone filters in the
%                    non-linear part before the broken stick
%                    non-linearity. Default value is 3.

% In comparison to the original code, the gammatone filters are computed
% by convolving the filter coefficients, instead of performing multiple
% runs of 'filter'. The lowpass filtering is still performed by mutliple
% runs through 'filter', as the linear-part lowpass filter turned out to
% be unstable when the coefficients was convolved.
