function a = cochleagram(r, winLength, winShift)
% Generate a cochleagram from responses of a Gammatone filterbank.
% It gives the log energy of T-F units
% The first variable is required.
% winLength: window (frame) length in samples
% Written by ZZ Jin, and adapted by DLW in Jan'07

if nargin < 2
    winLength = 320;      % default window length in sample points which is 20 ms for 16 KHz sampling frequency
