MAY2011_GAMMATONEINIT
Initialize gammatone filterbank structure

Program code:

function GFB = may2011_gammatoneinit(fs,lowFreq,upFreq,nFilter,bUseEar,bAlign,bInfo)
%MAY2011_GAMMATONEINIT   Initialize gammatone filterbank structure
%
%   Usage:
%     GFB = may2011_gammatoneinit(FS,FLOW,FUP,NFILTER,BEAR,BALIGN,BINFO)
% 
%   Input parameters:
%     FS      : sampling frequency in Hz
%     FLOW    : center frequency of lowest auditory filter 
%               (default, FLOW = 80)
%     FUP     : center frequency of highest auditory filter 
%               (default, FUP = 8e3)
%     NFILTER : number of auditory filters which will be spaced linear on the 
%               ERB scale. If NFILTER is not a scalar but a vector, the first 
%               value is assumed to represent the number of auditory channels
%               and the following values represents the indices of the 
%               filters which should be processed. This can be useful if a 
%               large number of channels is required as MATLAB might run out 
%               of memory for a longer exerpt if all filters are computed in 
%               one step. (default, NFILTER = round(freq2erb(FS/2))
%     BEAR :    Adjust gain coefficients of the auditory channels to 
%               incorporate middle ear effects. Note that this feature can 
%               only be used if the center frequencies of the auditory 
%               channels are above 20 hertz and below 12500 hertz.
%               (default, BEAR = true)
%     BALIGN :  time-aligned gammatone output (non-causal output)
%               (default, BALIGN = false)
%     BINFO :   info flag printing gammatone parameters on the screen
%               (default, BINFO = false)
% 
%   Output parameters:
%     GFB : gammatone parameter structure which can be passed as second
%           input argument to the function gammatone
%
%   MAY2011_GAMMATONEINIT initializes a gammatone structure suitable
%   for usage with may2011_gammatone.
%
%   Examples:
%
%     nSamples = 500;
%     % Initialize gammatone parameter structure
%     GFB = gammatoneInit(20e3);
%     % Filter impulse with gammatone filtering 
%     bm = gammatone([1; zeros(nSamples-1,1)],GFB);
%     % Plot result
%     waveplot(1:nSamples,GFB.cf,bm);
