<h1>Source code for the Zilany and Bruce (JASA 2006, 2007) Cat Auditory Nerve Model</h1>

<p>This is <span class="style1">Version 2</span> of the public distribution of the
code for the auditory periphery model of:</p>

<p class="style1"><u>The highlights of the improvements in version 2 are:-</u></p>
<ul>
  <li><span class="style1">  Model now runs at sampling rates of 100, 200 and 500 kHz:</span><br>
    The major improvement in this version of the code is that it is able<br>
    run at 100 kHz for model fibers with characteristic frequencies (CFs)<br>
    up to 20 kHz.  To model fibers up to CFs of 40 kHz, a minimum<br>
    sampling rate of 200 kHz should be used.  The flexibility in sampling<br>
    rate is made possible by some changes to the middle-ear filter and<br>
    spike generator code, as described in <a href="http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/%7Eibruce/zbcatmodel/readme.txt">readme.txt</a>.</li>
  <li><span class="style1">  Improved speed and reduced memory consumption:</span><br>
    Running the model at a lower sampling rate produces a major speed<br>
    increase and reduction in memory usage.  In addition, the new spike<br>
    generator code is substantially faster than the old method.  We have<br>
    also found some savings that can be made in memory allocation.<br>
  </li>
  </ul>
<p>The code is archived in the following formats:</p>

<ul>
  <li> A PKZIP-compatible .zip file: <a href="http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/%7Eibruce/zbcatmodel/zbcatmodel2007v2.zip">zbcatmodel2007v2.zip</a></li>
  <li> A .tar.gz file: <a href="http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/%7Eibruce/zbcatmodel/zbcatmodel2007v2.tar.gz">zbcatmodel2007v2.tar.gz</a> </li>
</ul>

<p>The files in both of these archives are identical and are suitable for compiling
as a MEX file in Matlab running on either Windows or Unix. See <a href="http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/%7Eibruce/zbcatmodel/readme.txt">readme.txt</a>  for
instructions regarding platform-dependent compiling issues. (This readme
file is also included in the .zip and .tar.gz archives.)</p>
