from Gammatone-based (auditory) spectrograms by Dan Ellis
Calculates a spectrogram-like time-frequency intensity matrix based on Gammatone filters.

fft2gammatonemx(nfft, sr, nfilts, width, minfreq, maxfreq, maxlen)
function [wts,gain] = fft2gammatonemx(nfft, sr, nfilts, width, minfreq, maxfreq, maxlen)
% wts = fft2gammatonemx(nfft, sr, nfilts, width, minfreq, maxfreq, maxlen)
%      Generate a matrix of weights to combine FFT bins into
%      Gammatone bins.  nfft defines the source FFT size at
%      sampling rate sr.  Optional nfilts specifies the number of
%      output bands required (default 64), and width is the
%      constant width of each band in Bark (default 1).
%      minfreq, maxfreq specify range covered in Hz (100, sr/2).
%      While wts has nfft columns, the second half are all zero. 
%      Hence, aud spectrum is
%      fft2gammatonemx(nfft,sr)*abs(fft(xincols,nfft));
%      maxlen truncates the rows to this many bins
