class:: Meddis
summary:: Meddis cochlear hair cell model
related:: Classes/Gammatone,Classes/HairCell
categories:: UGens>Analysis, UGens>Filters
Description::
Implementation of a hair cell model based on Implementation details of a computation model of the inner hair-cell/auditory-nerve synapse
(Ray Meddis, Michael J. Hewitt and Trevor M. Shackleton JASA 87(4) April 1990)
The model is currently hard-coded for the 'medium spontaneous rate' parameters.
The functional effect is like half wave rectification and low pass filtering, with a more physiologically plausible mechanism.
Model output is scaled by 100 from the JASA paper settings to obtain a sensible output range for audio signals in SuperCollider.
classmethods::
method::ar
argument::input
input to be processed (essentially, basilar membrane motion at a particular point, affecting an inner hair cell's stereocilia)
Examples::
code::
//try passing a signal through the hair cell
x = { Meddis.ar(SinOsc.ar(440)) }.play;
x.free;
//recursive hair cell compression
{ Meddis.ar(Meddis.ar(SoundIn.ar)) }.play;
