function outsig = sig_bincorrnoise(siglen,coher,varargin)
% sig_bincorrnoise  Binaurally correlated noise
%   Usage: outsig = sig_bincorrnoise(siglen,coher)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       siglen    : Number of samples of outsig
%       coher     : Interaural coherence of the produced signal.
%
%   Output parameters:
%       outsig    : nsig x2 correlated noise signal
%
%   SIG_BINCORRNOISE(siglen,coher) will generate a interaurally correlated noise signal 
%   with coherence coher. The output is a 2 column matrix of length siglen.
%
%   SIG_BINCORRNOISE(siglen,coher,...) will pass all additional parameters
%   onto the noise function to select between different types of stochastic
%   noise.

% ------ Computation -----------------------------------------------------

% Generate correlation matrix
R = [1 coher; coher 1];
% Eigen decomposition
[V,D] = eig(R);

% Form correlating filter
W = V*sqrt(D);

% Generate uncorrelated noise
n = noise(siglen,2,varargin{:});

% Correlate the noise
outsig = n * W';
