	every script produces a 'comma separated values' file(csv) with
	population-rate transfer function for 10000 Hodgkin-Huxley neurons
	model, with:
		gsyngrad - synaptic conductances gradients
		delaygrad - delay lines gradients 
		jitter - jitter in pathways
		noisecur - neuron intrinsic noise current
	scan11 / scan55 means that population-rate transfer function was tested 
		within [-1, 1]ms or [-5, 5]ms respectively.
	step - indicates ITD step for testing mesh in selected range. 

rgi.mod - mechanisms for noise current. For better performance, please
	use Ted Carnevale's InNp.mod for future versions.

hhcell.hoc - template for standard Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model with noise
	current. WARNING: To use scripts with thread mode, one must include
	independent random number generator in this template .

main.hoc - functions to run simulation iteratively and obtain population-rate
	transfer function. DON'T run this file. See Scripts above.

csv2dat.py - simple python script, to convert csv to standard two 
	columns dat file.
