Example: cochlear_models (hears)ΒΆ

Example of the use of the cochlear models (DRNL, DCGC and TanCarney) available in the library.

from brian.hears import *

simulation_duration = 50*ms
set_default_samplerate(50*kHz)
sound = whitenoise(simulation_duration)
sound = sound.atlevel(50*dB) # level in rms dB SPL
cf = erbspace(100*Hz, 1000*Hz, 50) # centre frequencies
interval = 16  #update interval of the time varying filters
## DNRL

#param_drnl['lp_nl_cutoff_m'] = 1.1
#drnl_filter=DRNL(sound, cf, type='human', param=param_drnl)
#out = drnl_filter.process()

## DCGC
#param_dcgc = {}
#param_dcgc['c1'] = -2.96

#dcgc_filter = DCGC(sound, cf, interval, param=param_dcgc)
#out = dcgc_filter.process()

## Tan and Carney 2003
tan_filter = TanCarney(sound, cf, interval)
out = tan_filter.process()
