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 x 2 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.

% Generate correlation matrix

% Eigen decomposition
[V,D] = eig(R);
% Form correlating filter
W = V*sqrt(D);
% Generate uncorrelated noise

% Correlate the noise
