GESIv110 : See ref [1]
GESIv123 : See ref [2]
GESIv130 : beta version including TMTF of a hearing impaired listener
GESIv149 : See ref [4]
You need GCFBv233 or a later version from
https://github.com/AMLAB-Wakayama/gammachirp-filterbank/GCFBv234
Please set the programs as:
[Your installation directory]/GESI/
[Your installation directory]/gammachirp-filterbank/GCFBv234/
You will need to learn GCFBv234[3] if you want to set a hearing loss that appears in a hearing impaired audiogram.
