Description

This function processes the binaural input signal through the model of periphery presented by Takanen, Santala, Pulkki 2013, the model which consists of a nonlinear time-domain model of cochlea and model of cochlear nucleus. The processing contains the following steps:

  1. the binaural input signal is processed with the nonlinear time- domain model of cochlea by Verhulst et. al. 2013 to obtain the velocity of basilar membrane movement at different positions
  2. the obtained velocity information is half-wave rectified
  3. the half-waves are replaced with Gaussian pulses centered around the local maxima of the half-waves
  4. the frequency-dependent delays of the cochlea model are compensated
