    electrical neural stimulation," Journal of Computational Neuroscience
    9(2):119–132.

Each Matlab model function has instructions as to which articles should be
cited if you make use of that function (or a modified version thereof) in your
research.

The code is archived in the following formats:

    A PKZIP-compatible .zip file: CImodels.zip

    A .tar.gz file: CImodels.tar.gz

The files in both of these archives are identical and are suitable for Matlab
versions 5.x and greater.

The current model code version is 1.2 - see the included file chages.txt for
details of what has been changed in each release.
