ROENNE2012CLICK - Simulate ABR respone to click

Program code:

function [waveVamp,waveVlat] = roenne2012click(stim_level,varargin) 
%ROENNE2012CLICK  Simulate ABR respone to click
%   Usage: [waveVlat]  = roenne2012click(stim_level).
%
%   Output parameters:
%     waveVlat   : Latency of simulated ABR wave V peak.
%     waveVamp   : Amplitude of simulated ABR wave V.
%
%   Input parameters:
%     stim_level      : Simulated levels. Default: Elberling et al. (2010)
%                       stimulus levels (20, 40, 60 dB HL) calibrated to pe
%                       SPL (+ 35.2 dB), see Rønne et al. (2012).   
%
%   ronne2012_click(stim_level) returns click evoked ABR wave V latencies
%   and amplitudes for a range of given stimulus levels. It simulates ABR
%   responses to click stimulus using the ABR model of Rønne et
%   al. (2012). The click stimulus is defined similar to Elberling et
%   al. (2010).
