f2bmdistance
Basilar-membrane distances and center frequencies in the cochlea

Usage:

[dists, CFs] = f2bmdistance( flow, fhigh, segnum );

Input parameters:

flow Lowest center frequency (in Hz).
fhigh Highest center frequency (in Hz).
N Number of segments at the cochlea.

Description:

f2bmdistance calculates the distances (in mm) at the basilar membrane (BM) from the human cochlea apex and the corresponding characteristic frequencies (CFs, in Hz) according to the position-frequency function from Greenwood (1990).

The CFs and distances are calculated for N places at the BM beginning with low-frequency flow and ending with the high-frequency fhigh.
