Example: online_computation (hears)ΒΆ

Example of online computation using process(). Plots the RMS value of each channel output by a gammatone filterbank.

from brian import *
from brian.hears import *

sound1 = tone(1*kHz, .1*second)
sound2 = whitenoise(.1*second)

sound = sound1+sound2
sound = sound.ramp()

sound.level = 60*dB

cf = erbspace(20*Hz, 20*kHz, 3000)
fb = Gammatone(sound, cf)

def sum_of_squares(input, running):
    return running+sum(input**2, axis=0)

rms = sqrt(fb.process(sum_of_squares)/sound.nsamples)

sound_rms = sqrt(mean(sound**2))

axhline(sound_rms, ls='--')
