verhulst2015
Cochlear transmission-line model (improved version)

Usage:

output = verhulst2015(insig,fs,fc,subject,irregularities,sheraPo)

Input parameters:

insig Acoustic signal (in Pa). Size: (time x ear).
fs Sampling rate (in Hz).
fc_flag Either a vector with frequencies specifying the probe positions along basilar-membrane sections, or 'all' to probe all 1000 cochlear sections, or 'abr' to probe 401 locations between 112 and 12000 Hz.

Output parameters:

V Velocity of the basilar membrane sections. Size: (time x section x ear).
Y Displacement of the basilar membrane sections. Size: (time x section x ear).
E Sound pressure at the middle ear.
CF Actual center frequencies (in Hz) of the probed basiliar-membrane sections. Size: section.

Description:

verhulst2015(..) computes the displacement at various sections of the basilar membrane and their velocity of the movement. For more details and parameters, see arg_verhulst2015.

verhulst2015(..) also accepts the following flags among many others:

'progress' Display the calculation progress. Default.
'silent' No progress display. Opposite of 'progress'.
'no_debug' No display of debugging information. Default.
'debug' Display additional debugging information. Opposite of 'no_debug'.
