ZILANY2014_SYNAPSE - Auditory nerve (AN) synapse model

Usage:

[ANresp,var_rate, psth] = zilany2014_synapse(vihc,fc,nrep,tdres,fiberType,noiseType,implnt);

Input parameters:

`vihc`	Output from inner hair cells (IHCs) in Volts
`fc`	Center frequencies (Hz)
`nrep`	Number of repetitions for the mean rate, rate variance & psth calculation. Default is 1.
`tdres`	simulation time resolution, fs_mod^(-1)
`fiberType`	Type of the fiber based on spontaneous rate (SR) in spikes/s 1: Low SR; 2: Medium SR (default); 3: High SR.
`noiseType`	Fractional Gaussian noise will be different in every simulation (1), or will be always the same (0, default)
`implnt`	0...Use approxiate implementation of the power-law (default). 1...Use actual implementation of the power-law functions.

Output parameters:

`ANresp`	AN response in terms of the estimated instantaneous mean spiking rate (incl. refractoriness) in nf different AN fibers spaced equally on the BM
`var_rate`	var rate
`psth`	Spike histogram

Description:

zilany2014_synapse returns modeled responses of one AN fibers to a specific inner haircell potential.
