%EXP_VERHULST2012 Figures from Verhulst et al. (2012)
%
%   Usage: output = exp_verhulst2012(flag)
%
%   This script reproduces figures 2a and 2c from Verhulst et al. (2012). "Nonlinear 
%   time-domain cochlear model for transient stimulation and human otoacoustic emission."
%   The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 132(6). pages 3842-3848.
%
%   Requirements and installation: 
%   ------------------------------
%
%   1) Python 3 is required with numpy and scipi packages. 
%      On Linux, use sudo apt-get install python-scipy python-numpy
%      On Windows, use 
% 
%   2) Compiled files with a C-compiler, e.g. gcc. In amtbase/bin/verhulst2012 start make (Linux) or make.bat (Windows)
%
%   3) On linux, when problems with GFORTRAN lib appear, try sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 /mymatlabroot/sys/os/glnxa64/libgfortran.so.3 (mymatlabroot is usually /usr/local/MATLAB/version
%               
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   To display Figure 2a from the Verhulst et al. (2012) use:::
%
%     exp_verhulst2012('fig2a');
%
%   To display Figure 2c from the Verhulst et al. (2012) use:::
%
%     exp_verhulst2012('fig2c');

   dur_ramp_ms = 10; % ms. Ramp duration or 'onset duration'
   dur_ramp = round((dur_ramp_ms*1e-3)*fs); % duration ramp in samples
   rp = ones(1,size(insig,2));
