carney2015_generateneurogram - generates a neurogram from HL parameters

Program code:

function [psth,neurogram_ft] = carney2015_generateneurogram(stim,Fs_stim,species,ag_fs,ag_dbloss,CF_num,dur,iCF,fiber_num,CF_range,fiberType)
%carney2015_generateneurogram generates a neurogram from HL parameters
%
%   Usage:
%      [psth,neurogram_ft] = carney2015_generateneurogram(stim,Fs_stim,species,ag_fs,ag_dbloss,CF_num,dur,iCF,fiber_num,CF_range,fiberType)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     stim         : stimulus
%     Fs_stim      : sampling frequency
%     species      : can be either human ('2') or cat ('1')
%     ag_fs        : Frequencies at which the audiogram should be evaluated
%     ag_dbloss    : Hearing loss [dB] at the frequencies 'ag_fs'
%     CF_num       : Corresponds to the number of fibers between lowest and highest
%                    frequency. The fibers will be equidistantly spaced
%                    on the basilar membrane.
%     dur          : stimulus duration
%     iCF          : frequency index of the fibres of interest
%     fiber_num    : number of fibres
%     CF_range     : range over which the fibers should be spaced; [lowest f highest f]
%     fiberType    : Type of the fiber based on spontaneous rate (SR) in spikes/s
%
%   Output parameters:
%     psth         : peri-stimulus time histogram
%     neurogram_ft : (fine-timing) neurogram
%
%   Description:
%     provides a neurogram from a set of frequencies and hearing loss [dB]
%     at those frequencies
