zilany2007 - Humanized auditory nerve model

Program code:

function [ANdata,vFreq] = zilany2007(stim_level,stim,fsstim,fsmod,varargin)
% zilany2007  Humanized auditory nerve model
%   Usage: [ANdata,vFreq] = zilany2007(lvl,stim,fsstim,fsmod);
%
%   Input parameters:
%     stim_level  : Level of stimulus in peSPL
%     stim        : Pressure waveform of stimulus (timeseries)
%     fsstim      : Sampling frequency of stimulus  
%     fsmod       : Model sampling frequency (often 200kHz)
%
%   Output parameters:
%     ANdata     : AN exicitation in 500 different AN fibers spaced equally
%                   on the BM
%     vFreq      : Frequency vector containing the 500 center frequencies
%
%   ZILANY2007(stim_lvl, stim, fsstim, fsmod) returns simulations
%   from Rønne et al. (2012). It calls the mex'ed C code containing the
%   humanized version of Zilany et al. (2007)'s AN model. The humanization
%   is described in Rønne et al. (2012). The AN model is called 500 times to
%   simulate 500 fibers tuned to different center frequencies.
%
%   Please cite Rønne et al (2012) and Zilany and Bruce (2007) if you use
%   this model.
%
%   This function takes the following optional parameters:
%
%     'flow',flow     Lowest centre frequency. Default value is 100.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh   Highest centre frequency. Default value is 16000.
%
%     'nfibers',nf    Number of fibers between lowest and highest
%                     frequency. The fibers will be equidistantly spaced
%                     on the basilar membrane. Default value is 500.
