I'm pleased to announce a new Auditory Toolbox for Matlab. This toolbox contains functions useful to people interested in auditory/cochlear modeling, and using auditory models in their work. The goal of this toolbox is to provide several models of human auditory perception in an easy to use package. We use Matlab in our own work and we needed these functions. We thought that other people might also want them, so we've packaged them, tested them, documented them, and made them available. This toolbox, which has been tested and works on both Macintosh and Unix computers, includes the following major models: Lyon's Passive Long Wave Cochlear Model (our conventional model) Patterson-Holdsworth ERB Filter bank with Meddis Hair cell Seneff's Auditory Model (Stages I and II) MFCC (Mel-scale frequency cepstral coefficients from the ASR world) Spectrogram Correlogram generation and pitch modeling Simple vowel synthesis The best way to get these functions is via anonymous FTP from the following site: Host: ftp.apple.com (only works for properly configured TCP hosts) Directory: /pub/malcolm The following files are available: 832 -rw-r--r-- 1 malcolm 419487 Apr 14 21:03 AuditoryToolbox.mif.Z 2696 -rw-r--r-- 1 malcolm 1372976 Apr 14 20:54 AuditoryToolbox.psc.Z 1128 -rw-r--r-- 1 malcolm 573215 Apr 13 19:52 AuditoryToolbox.sea.hqx 192 -rw-r--r-- 1 malcolm 92160 Apr 13 19:21 AuditoryToolbox.tar 72 -rw-r--r-- 1 malcolm 36405 Apr 13 19:21 AuditoryToolbox.tar.Z The ".mif.Z" file is a Unix compressed version of the FrameMaker documentation. The ".psc.Z" file is a Unix compressed version of the Postscript documentation. The ".tar" and ".tar.Z" files are Unix TAR archives containing all of the m-functions and C-MEX source code. Finally, the ".sea.hqx" file is a Macintosh self-extracting archive that has been encoded using BinHex. We do provide precompiled version of the three MEX function for the Macintosh. If you can't get the bits electronically, we can send you a paper copy of the documentation and a Macintosh floppy containing the toolbox. Sorry, we can't make this software available via other media. Send a note to shirley_caetano(at)bbcomm.apple.com to request the software. She will need your request for TR#45 or the "Auditory Toolbox" and a postal address (no PO boxes for foreign addresses.) The toolbox contains the 21 functions (three of them are implemented as MEX functions in C). I have included the list of functions at the end of this note. Our lawyers ask you to remind you that there is no warranty. We've done some testing but we undoubtably missed things. We hope these tools are useful in your work. We certainly find these tools (and Matlab) to be a great aid for our own perceptual work.
