%TAKANEN2013_LSO Model of the lateral superior olive
% Usage: output = takanen2013_lso(ipsilateral, contralateral, fs, fc);
%
% Input parameters:
% ipsilateral : The ipsilateral "where" stream output from the
% model of the periphery
% contralateral : The contralateral "where" stream output from the
% model of the periphery
% fs : sampling rate
% fc : characteristic frequencies
%
% Output parameters:
% output : Spatial cues for separate narrow bandwidths
%
% This function models the lateral superior olive (LSO) by processing the
% output of the periphery model with the following steps:
%
% 1) First-order lowpass filter is applied to both the ipsilateral and
% contralateral sides, and the contralateral side is delayed
%
% 2) The output is saturated at a certain dB level and limited
% signals.
%
% 3) Weighted moving average filters with a short and longer time
% constant are applied, the latter only below 1 kHz in order to slow
% the response
