%bramslow2004_ucl Excitation patterns at uncomfortable levels (UCLs)
%
% Usage: E_UCL = bramslow2004_ucl(In_FrmSize, In_SampF, TransFact, NoChan, Widen, AG_UCL, AGLoss, RET4153, AGFs_E, E_Beg, E_End, E_B)
%
% Input parameters:
% In_FrmSize : Input framesize (in samples).
% fs : Input sampling rate (in Hz).
% TransFact : String specifying the fixed frequency response equalization applied to the input spectrum
% (after correcting for coupler response) before passing
% it through the auditory filterbank:
%
% - 'ZWICKA0': Zwicker a0 transmission factor.
%
% - 'ISO100N': 100-phone equal-loudness contours.
%
% - 'ISO100M': 100-phone equal-loudness contours, modified
% be to flat below 1 kHz.
%
% NoChan : Number of output channels (equally distributed on the ERB scale).
% Widen : Flag for filter widening dependent on level. If true, the filter will be widened.
% AG_UCL : Audiogram with uncomfortable levels (UCLs) (in dB HL).
% Specified at frequencies: [125 250 500 750 1000 1500 2000 3000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12500]
% AGLoss : Audiogram with the hearing loss (in dB HL).
% Specified at the same frequencies as for AG_UCL.
% RET4153 : SPL thresholds (in dB) as specified by ISO 389 on the ear simulator (B&K 4153) coupler.
% Specified at the same frequencies as for AG_UCL.
% AGFs_E : Audiogram frequencies (in Cams, on the ERB scale).
% E_Beg : Lowest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 3 Cams).
% E_End : Highest ERB rate considered (in Cams, typically 32 Cams).
%
% Output parameters:
% E_UCL : Excitation pattern (in dB) in ERB bands for the provided UCL.
