The CARFAC v2 Cochlear Model in Matlab, NumPy, and JAXThe open-source CARFAC (Cascade of Asymmetric Resonators with Fast-Acting Compression) cochlear model is upgraded to version 2, with improvements to the Matlab implementation, and with new Python/NumPy and JAX implementations -- but C++ version changes are still pending. One change addresses the DC (direct current, or zero frequency) quadratic distortion anomaly previously reported; another reduces the neural synchrony at high frequencies; the others have little or no noticeable effect in the d…
