Brian hears: an auditory library in Python
------------------------------------------------
http://www.briansimulator.org/docs/hears.html

Brian hears is a new auditory library. It includes sound generation and 
manipulation, filter banks (gammatone, gammachirp, etc), detailed 
cochlear models (dynamic compressive gammachirp, DRNL...), HRTF 
filtering, and easy integration with the Brian simulator for spiking 
neural modeling.
This library is a part of the Brian neural network simulator, available 
on almost all platforms, but it can also be used on its own. It is 
written in the Python programming language, which is an easy, concise 
and highly developed language with many advanced features and 
development tools, excellent documentation and a large community of 
users providing support and extension packages.

To download Brian hears, simply download the Brian simulator 
(http://www.briansimulator.org). The web site contains installation 
instructions and the documentation. Many examples are provided in the 
distribution (don’t forget to download the extras.zip file). There is 
also a public forum where you can ask any questions: 
http://groups.google.fr/group/briansupport

Brian is also available from the NeuroDebian repository: 
http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/python-brian.html pre-packaged for all 
recent Debian and Ubuntu releases.

Brian is being developed by Romain Brette (romain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) 
and Dan Goodman (dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). This release also includes 
contributions by Bertrand Fontaine, Cyrille Rossant, Victor Benichoux 
and Boris Gourévitch.
