// Class: CARFAC
// *****************************************************************************
// The CARFAC class is the top-level class implementing the CAR-FAC C++ model.
// A CARFAC object knows how to design its details from a modest set of
// parameters, and knows how to process sound signals to produce "neural
// activity patterns" (NAPs) which are contained in a CARFACOutput object.
//
// The 'Design' method is used to intialize the CARFAC model, and is passed
// a set of CAR, IHC and AGC parameters along with sound file information
// (channels and sample rate).
//
// The two methods 'Run' and 'RunSegment' are responsible for
// processing sound signals. These both take two dimensional Eigen float arrays
// (samples x channels) as arguments and return CARFACOutput objects.
