The Modulation Filterbank (MFB) Model is a MATLAB toolbox off ering a modular framework for setting up simple auditory models inspired by the work of Torsten Dau (PEMO model; Dau, Kollmeier & Kohlrausch, 1997) and Stefan Ewert (EPSM; Ewert, Dau, 2000). These models aim at predicting the processing of temporal and spectral cues by human listeners.
The code is openly available on Github.
