Signal processing stages for a cochlear implant simulation. The input audio signal is converted to single precision floating point, followed by pre-emphasis and AGC/DRC (Automatic Gain Control / Dynamic Range Compression). The remaining stages include a frequency-specific filtering and envelope extraction followed by a noiseband simulation based on modulating white noise with the low-pass output of each channel. The output of each band is summed to produce the final acoustic output. Adapted from [3], [4]
