Example of a simple auditory nerve fibre model with Brian hears.

from brian import *
from brian.hears import *

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

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

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

# Half-wave rectification and compression [x]^(1/3)
ihc = FunctionFilterbank(cochlea, lambda x: 3*clip(x, 0, Inf)**(1.0/3.0))

# Leaky integrate-and-fire model with noise and refractoriness
eqs = '''
dv/dt = (I-v)/(1*ms)+0.2*xi*(2/(1*ms))**.5 : 1
I : 1

anf = FilterbankGroup(ihc, 'I', eqs, reset=0, threshold=1, refractory=5*ms)

M = SpikeMonitor(anf)
run(sound.duration)
