%IHCENVELOPE Inner hair cell envelope extration
% Usage: outsig=ihcenvelope(insig,fs,methodname);
%
% IHCENVELOPE(insig,fs,methodname) extract the envelope of an input signal
% insig sampled with a sampling frequency of fs Hz. The envelope
% extraction is performed by half-wave rectification followed by low pass
% filtering. This is a common model of the signal transduction of the
% inner hair cells.
%
% The parameter methodname describes the kind of low pass filtering to
% use. The name refers to a set of papers where in this particular
% method has been utilized or studied. The options are
%
% 'ihc_bernstein' Compute the Hilbert envelope, compress the envelope
% by raising it to the power .2, combine the envelope
% with the original fine-structure, half-wave rectify it,
% square it and low-pass filter it with a cut-off
% frequency of 425 Hz. This method is defined in
% Bernstein (1999). Note that this method includes both a
% compression and an expansion stage.
%
% 'ihc_breebaart' Use a 5th order filter with a cut-off frequency of 770
% Hz. This method is given in Breebaart (2001). Page
% 94 in Breebart's thesis.
%
% 'ihc_filter_order',n
% Filter order for the Breebaart filter, default: 5.
%
% 'ihc_dau' Use a 1st-order Butterworth filter with a cut-off
% frequency of 1000 Hz. This method has been used in all
% models deriving from the original 1996 model by
% Dau et. al. These models are mostly monaural in nature.
%
% 'hilbert' Use the Hilbert envelope instead of the half-wave
% rectification and low pass filtering. This is not a
% releastic model of the inner hair envelope extraction
% process, but the option is included for
% completeness. The Hilbert envelope was first suggested
% for signal analysis in Gabor (1946).
%
% 'ihc_lindemann' Use a 1st order Butterworth filter with a cut-off
% frequency of 800 Hz. This method is defined in the
% Lindemann (1986a) paper.
%
% 'ihc_meddis' Use the Meddis inner hair cell model.
%
% 'minlvl' Set all values in the output equal to minlvl.
% This ensures that the output is non-negative and
% that further processing is not affected by
% unnaturally small values. The default value of []
% means to not do this.
%
% 'dim',d Work along dimension d.
