Entwicklung einer Programmbibliothek zur Modellierung des peripheren auditiven Systems unter der Programmiersprache Matlab

This work combines four appreciated models of the peripheral auditory system. These are "LUTEar", developed at the TU-Loughtborough, Leichestershire, GB, the "Passive Ear-Model" by Lyon, the "Cochlea-Model" by Seneff, and the "Filterbank-Model" by Patterson-Holdsworth. Additional aid is given by some analysis modules and signal generating pro-grams which are related to psychoacoustic measurements. Existing implementations of these models are using different computer platforms. Therefore, it was necessary to make them compareable by using a single platform. Matlab has been chosen because it is a powerful tool for numeric computation and visualisation. The modular structure of this library allows to compare single processing steps of the models and it is open for further extensions.
