auditoryfilterbank
Linear Gammatone auditory filterbank

Program code:

function [outsig, fc] = auditoryfilterbank(insig, fs, varargin)
%auditoryfilterbank Linear Gammatone auditory filterbank
%   Usage: [outsig, fc] = auditoryfilterbank(insig, fs);
%          [outsig, fc] = auditoryfilterbank(insig, fs, flow);
%          [outsig, fc] = auditoryfilterbank(insig, fs, flow, fhigh);
%
%   Input parameters:
%     insig  : Acoustic signal. Size: (*time x channels*).
%     fs     : Sampling rate (in Hz).
%     flow   : Optional frequency (in Hz) of the lowest filter. 
%              Default: 80 Hz. 
%     fhigh  : Optional frequency (in Hz) of the highest filter. 
%              Default: 8 kHz. 
%
%   Output parameters:
%     outsig : Filtered output. Size: (*time x numfc x channels*).
%     fc     : Center frequencies (in Hz) of the applied filterbank. 
%              The number of filters numfc is the result of flow, fhigh*
%              and bwmul. Default: 31.
%  
%   AUDITORYFILTERBANK(insig, fs) applies the Gammatone filterbank to the
%   signal insig sampled with fs. The filterbank will be composed of 
%   31 filters from 80 Hz to 8 kHz spaced 1 ERB apart.
%  
%   [outsig, fc] = AUDITORYFILTERBANK(...) additionally returns the center
%   frequencies fc of the filterbank.
%
%   This function takes the following optional key-value pairs:
%
%     'flow',flow    As flow.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh  As fhigh.
%
%     'basef',basef  Center one filter exactly at basef (in Hz) and spread
%                    other filters accordingly. Default: [], which means 
%                    that the filters will be spread optimally between 
%                    flow and fhigh. 
%
%     'bwmul',bwmul  Spacing of the auditory filters in the ERB rate. 
%                    Default: 1, which means that filters will be spaced 
%                    one ERB apart.
