DEMO_LYON2011_IMPULSERESPONSES - impulse responses of the CARFAC model

Program code:

%DEMO_LYON2011_IMPULSERESPONSES impulse responses of the CARFAC model
%
%   This script produces an 80-us impulse (click) feeds it into the the 'cascade 
%   of asymmetric resonators with fast-acting compression' (CARFAC) model.
%   The model's output ('impulse response') is converted to the frequency domain
%   by taking the FFT (yielding the 'frequency response'). The ERB
%   bandwidth and the quality factor (QERB) is calcualted and compared to the
%   experimental data.
%   The impulses responses to clicks at various intensities are also assessed
%   and the QERBs are compared with the respective experimental data.
%
%   Figure 1: Impulse responses at a center frequency of 4 kHz
%
%   Figure 2: Equivalent rectangular bandwidth at low intensities
%
%   Figure 3: The filter bandwidth as a function of intensity
