F2BMDISTANCE - calculates the resonance frequency of each cochlear segment

Program code:

function [f, varargout] = f2bmdistance( segnum, varargin)
%F2BMDISTANCE calculates the resonance frequency of each cochlear segment
%    
%   Usage: f = f2bmdistance( segnum );
%          f = f2bmdistance( flow, fhigh, segnum );
%
%   F2BMDISTANCE uses the Greenwood position-frequency map function (1990)
%   for calculating the characteristic frequencies (CFs) and the cochlear 
%   positions (Pos) corresponding to the distribution of segnum channels. The
%   the low-frequency (flow) and the high-frequency (fhigh) range can be
%   optionally specified.
