EWERT2000
Modulation filterbank (based on EPSM)

Usage:

[fcs,powers] = ewert2000(data,fs)

Input parameters:

data Powerspectrum data to be filtered.
fs sampling frequency

Output parameters:

fcs centre frequencies of the filters
powers filter coefficients

Description:

[fcs powers] = ewert2000(data,fs) computes the EPSM-filterbank as presented by Ewert & Dau 2000, without the additional lowpass filter with a cut-off at 150 Hz. This implementation consists of a lowpass filter with a cutoff at 1 Hz, in parallel with 6 bandpass filters with octave spacing. the Center-frequencies of the bandpass filters are lower than the original from Ewert & Dau (2000). In each of the filters data is integrated within the pass-band of the filter to give the power within that filter.
