ROENNE2012 - Simulate auditory brainstem responses (ABRs)

Program code:

function [waveVamp, waveVlat, varargout]  = roenne2012(stim,fsstim,stim_level,varargin)
%ROENNE2012 Simulate auditory brainstem responses (ABRs)
%   Usage: [waveVamp, waveVlat]  = roenne2012(stim,fsstim,stim_level)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     stim         : stimuli
%     fsstim       : sampling frequency
%     stim_level   : level
%
%   Output parameters:
%     waveVamp   : Amplitude of simulated ABR wave V.
%     waveVlat   : Latency of simulated ABR wave V peak.
%
%
%   ROENNE2012(stim,fsstim,stim_level) returns simulated ABR wave V
%   latency and amplitude. The stimulus stim must be defined in pascals
%   and calibrated so a pure tone stimulus has an RMS value of 1. Transient
%   stimuli (which this model is designed to simulate) has to be calibrated
%   in peSPL acoustically. This is *not* the same as "just" having a
%   numerical peak to peak value of the same level as the pure tone. For
%   calibrated click, chirps and tone bursts, see ROENNE2012_CLICK,
%   ROENNE2012_TONEBURSTS and ROENNE2012_CHIRP.
%
%   The parameter fsstim gives the sampling frequency of the input
%   stimulus, and stim_level the level. As input is calibrated to an
%   RMS-value of 1, a stimulus level in (pe)SPL has to be set.
%
%   Flags:
%
%     'plot'                : Plot the output. See PLOT_ROENNE2012.
%  
%     'no_plot'             : Do not plot. This is the default.
%
%     'fsmod',fsmod         : Auditory nerve model sampling frequency.
%                             Default value is 200000.
%      
%     'flow',flow           : Auditory nerve model lowest center frequency.
%                             Default value is 100 Hz.
%
%     'fhigh',fhigh         : Auditory nerve model highest center frequency.
%                             Default value is 16000 Hz.
%
%     'min_modellength',mn  : Minimum length of modelling measured in ms.
%                             Default value is 40.
