Program code:

%demo_lopezpoveda2001  Widening of filters in the lopezpoveda2001
%
%   This script displays three auditory spectrograms generated using the
%   lopezpoveda2001. The input signal is the same, just presented at three different
%   levels. The purpose is to visualize the broading of the auditory
%   filters at higher input levels.
%
%   Figure 1: Greasy at 50 dB
%
%      This figure shows the lopezpoveda2001 of an input speech signal with a level
%      of 50 dB SPL.
%
%   Figure 2: Greasy at 70 dB
%
%      This figure shows the lopezpoveda2001 of an input speech signal with a level
%      of 50 dB SPL.
%
%   Figure 3: Greasy at 90 dB
%
%      This figure shows the lopezpoveda2001 of an input speech signal with a level
%      of 50 dB SPL.
