%baumgartner2016_gradientextraction - Extraction of positive spectral gradients
% Usage: [gp,gfc] = baumgartner2016_gradientextraction(mp,fc)
%
% Input parameters:
% mp : discharge rate profile
% fc : center frequencies
%
% Output parameters:
% gp : positive spectral gradient profile. Fields: gp.m for
% magnitude and gp.sd for standard deviation.
% Dimensions (4-6 optional):
% 1) frequency, 2) position (polar angle), 3) channel (L/R),
% 4) fiber type, 5) time frame.
% gfc : center frequencies of gradient profile
%
% BAUMGARTNER2016_GRADIENTEXTRACTION(...) is a spectral cue extractor
% inspired by functionality of dorsal cochlear nucleus in cats.
