%VERHULST2018 Cochlear transmission-line model (improved, incl. brainstem)
%
% Usage:
% output = verhulst2018(insig,fs,fc_flag)
% [output, cf] = verhulst2018(insig,fs,fc_flag, ...)
%
% Input parameters:
%
% insig : the input signal to be processed. Each column is
% processed in parallel, so it is possible to run several simulations in parallel
% fs : sampling rate (Hz)
% fc_flag : list of frequencies specifying the probe positions
% along the basilar membrane, or 'all' to probe all
% 1000 cochlear sections, or 'abr' to probe 401 locations
% between 112 and 12000 Hz.
% numH : number of high-SR fibers. Must be larger than zero.
% numM : number of medium-SR fibers. Can be zero.
% numL : number of low-SR fibers. Can be zero.
% 'ic' : calculate the IC responses
%
% Output parameters:
%
% cf : Center frequencies (Hz) of the probed basiliar membrane sections.
% output : Structure with the following fields:
% fs_an : Sample rate (Hz) of the output.
% fs_abr : Sample rate (Hz) of the brainstem sections (IC, CN, W1, W3, and W5).
% w1: Wave 1, output of the AN model.
% w3 : Wave 3, output of the CN model.
% w5 : Wave 5, output of the IC model.
% an_summed : Sum of HSR, MSR and LSR responses (per channel) and the input to the CN (modelled by verhulst2015_cn). Provided by default. Can be disabled by the flag no_an.
% ihc : IHC receptor potential. Provided by default. Can be disabled by the flag no_ihc.
% cn : Detailed output of the CN. Provided by default. Can be disabled by the flag no_cn.
% ic : Detailed output of the IC. Provided by default. Can be disabled by the flag no_ic.
%
% The output can optionally provide the following information:
% anfH : responses of the high-SR fibers. Optional, only when called with flag anfH.
% anfM : responses of the medium-SR fibers. Optional, only when called with flag anfM.
% anfL : responses of the low-SR fibers. Optional, only when called with flag anfL.
% v : velocity of the basilar membrane sections [time section channel] and input to the AN (modelled by VERHULST2018_ihctransduction. Optional, provided only when called with flag v.
% y : displacement of the basilar membrane sections [time section channel]. Can be disabled by the flag no_y.
% oae : ottoacoustic emission as sound pressure at the middle ear. Can be disabled by the flag oae.
