bramslow2004_exc0dbspl
Excitation patterns at an SPL of 0 dB in free field (to calibrate model)

Usage:

E_0 = bramslow2004_exc0dbspl(In_FrmSize, In_SampF, TransFact, Widen, AGLoss, RET4153, AGFs_E, NoChan, E_Beg, E_End, E_B)

Input parameters:

In_FrmSize Input framesize (in samples).
In_SampF Input sampling rate (in Hz).
TransFact

Specifies the fixed frequency response equalization applied to the input spectrum (after correcting for coupler response) before passing it through the auditory filterbank. The parameter choices are:

  • 'ZWICKA0': Zwicker a0 transmission factor.
  • 'ISO100N': 100-phone equal-loudness contours.
  • 'ISO100M': 100-phone equal-loudness contours, modified to flat below 1 kHz.
Widen Flag for filter widening dependent on level. If true, the filter will be widened.
AGLoss Audiogram (in dB HL) Specified at frequencies [125 250 500 750 1000 1500 2000 3000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12500] Hz.
RET4153 ISO 389 thresholds (in dB) as measured on the ear-simulator (4153) coupler. Specified at the same frequencies as for AGLoss.
AGFs_E Audiogram frequencies (in Cams, on the ERB scale).
NoChan Number of output channels (equally distributed on the ERB scale).
E_Beg Lowest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 3 Cams).
E_End Highest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 32 Cams).
E_B ERB rates (in Cams) of the individual bins in the frame.

Output parameters:

E_0 Power of the excitation in ERB bands for 0 dB SPL, with potentially widened filter.
