AUDSPECGRAM - Auditory spectrogram

Program code:

function varargout=audspecgram(insig,fs,varargin)
%AUDSPECGRAM  Auditory spectrogram
%   Usage: audspecgram(insig,fs,op1,op2, ... );
%          C=audspecgram(insig,fs, ... );
%
%   AUDSPECGRAM(insig,fs) plots an auditory spectrogram of the signal insig,
%   which has been sampled at a sampling rate of fs Hz. The output is
%   low-pass modulation filtered before presentation.
%
%   The frequency axis is diplayed on a erb-scale, but labelled in
%   Hz. Using the mouse to get plot coordinates will reveal the real
%   value in erb's. Use erbtofreq to convert to Hz.
%
%   C=AUDSPECGRAM(insig,fs, ... ) returns the image to be displayed as a
%   matrix. Use this in conjunction with imwrite etc. Do *not* use this as a
%   method to compute an auditory representation. Use some of the model
%   preprocessing functions for this.
%
%   Additional arguments can be supplied like this:
%
%     audspecgram(insig,fs,'dynrange',30);
%
%   The arguments must be character strings possibly followed by an argument:
%
%     'adapt'       Model adaptation. This is the default. This options also
%                   sets the output to be displayed on a linear scale.
%    
%     'noadapt'     Do not model adaptation. This option also sets a dB scale to
%                   display the output.
%    
%     'ihc',modelname
%                   Pass modelname to IHCENVELOPE to determine the inner
%                   hair cell envelope extraction process to use. Default is to
%                   use the 'dau' model.
%    
%     'classic'     Display a classic spectrogram. This option is equal to
%                   {'ihc','hilbert', 'noadapt', 'nomf'}
%    
%     'mlp',f       Modulation low-pass filter to frequency f. Default is to
%                   low-pass filter to 50 Hz.
%    
%     'mf',f        Modulation filter with specified center frequency.
%    
%     'nomf'        No modulation filtering of any kind.
%    
%     'image'       Use imagesc to display the spectrogram. This is the default.
%    
%     'clim',clim   Use a colormap ranging from clim(1) to clim(2). These              
%                   values are passed to imagesc. See the help on imagesc.
%    
%     'dynrange',r  Limit the displayed dynamic range to r. This option
%                   is especially usefull when displaying on a dB scale (no adaptation).
%    
%     'fullrange'   Use the full dynamic range. This is the default.
%    
%     'ytick'       A vector containing the frequency in Hz of the yticks.
%    
%     'thr',r       Keep only the largest fraction r of the coefficients, and
%                   set the rest to zero.
%    
%     'frange',frange
%                   Choose a frequency scale ranging from frange(1) to
%                   frange(2), values are entered in Hz. Default is to display from
%                   0 to 8000 Hz.
%    
%     'xres',xres   Approximate number of pixels along x-axis / time.
%    
%     'yres',yres   Approximate number of pixels along y-axis / frequency If
%                   only one of 'xres' and 'yres' is specified, the default
%                   aspect ratio will be used.
%    
%     'displayratio',r  Set the default aspect ratio.
%    
%     'contour'     Do a contour plot to display the spectrogram.
%           
%     'surf'        Do a surf plot to display the spectrogram.
%    
%     'mesh'        Do a mesh plot to display the spectrogram.
%
%     'colorbar'    Display the colorbar. This is the default.
%
%     'nocolorbar'  Do not display the colorbar.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   The following figure shows a classic spectrogram on an Erb scale of a
%   spoken word:
%
%     audspecgram(greasy,16000,'classic','dynrange',50);
%
%   The next example shows a Dau-style spectrogram (including adaptation
%   and modulation low-pass filtering) of the same word:
%
%     audspecgram(greasy,16000);
