Subject: New platform-independence for auditory modelling using Matlab From: "Dr. Lowel P. O'Mard" <lowel.omard@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 19:39:02 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>It is now possible to use the development system for auditory modelling (DSAM) in Matlab on earlier as well as the latest versions of Matlab, and without any compiling. The Development System for Auditory Modelling (DSAM) is a computational library designed specifically for producing time-sampled auditory system simulations. It brings together many established auditory models under a flexible programming platform; DSAM includes five different auditory nerve models (published, 1986-2007), neural cell models, including an efficient implementation of the Hodgkin-Huxley formalism, many utility and analysis facilities, threaded parallel processing for accelerated operation on multi-core systems as well as allowing input/output support for most sound file formats. The new “RunDSAMSimJ” interface uses Java technology to allow DSAM simulations a plug-and-play platform independence not hitherto possible. Using RunDSAMSimJ DSAM simulations are run as a Matlab command. Information is transferred directly to and from simulations and there is full access to model parameter setting and other simulation controls. The interface is available as a single, platform-independent Windows installation which has been tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, (XP/ Vista). See the “Applications” link at http://dsam.org.uk Many regards, ...Lowel.
