function y = dbspl(insig,varargin)
%DBSPL Calculates the SPL (in dB) of a signal
% Usage: y = dbspl(insig);
% y = dbspl(lvl);
% y = dbspl(insig,'ac');
%
% DBSPL(insig) calculates the sound pressure level (SPL) in dB of insig*
% considering the AMT default level convention, which is per default SPL of
% 93.98 dB for an RMS of 1.
%
% DBSPL(lin) outputs the SPL in dB for the linear level of lin.
%
% DBSPL(insig,'dboffset',dboffset) computes the SPL (in dB) of insig*
% for a level convention different than the AMT default by considering
% an SPL offset given by dboffset such that dbspl = 20*log10(rms(insig)) + dboffset.
% Some commonly used offsets are:
%
% dboffset = 0. With this offset, dbspl(insig) = 20*log10(rms(insig)).
% This convention was used for the development of the
% LOPEZPOVEDA2001 and BREEBAART2001.
%
% dboffset = -20*log10(20e-6) = 93.98. This corresponds to the
% convention of the SPL reference of 20 mu Pa. This addresses
% signals representing pressure in Pascal.
%
% dboffset = 100. This convention was used for the development of DAU1996.
%
% The AMT default level convention can be obtained by:
%
% dboffset = dbspl(1);
%
% In addition, DBSPL takes the following flags at the end of the line of
% input parameters:
%
% 'ac' Consider only the AC component of the signal (i.e. the mean is
% removed).
%
% 'dim',d Work along specified dimension. The default value of []
% means to work along the first non-singleton one.

% ------ Computation --------------------------
% The level of a signal in dB SPL is given by the following formula:
% level = 20*log10(p/p_0)
% To get to the standard used in the toolbox.
