Outer Segment

The outer segment class converts the absorptions (isomerizations, really) into photocurrent.

The base class (outersegment) is not implemented. Rather, we have implemented two subclasses of the general @outersegment class. These are

os = osBioPhys; or
os = osLinear;

The base class parameters only include a specification of how to compute the noise, and the default time step to use for the different equations that define the model.

        obj.noiseFlag = 'random';    % or 'frozen' or 'none'
        obj.timeStep = 1e-4;         % Sec

Each subclass implements an os.compute() function.

@osBioPhys

The biophysical model parameters are stored in

os.model

@osLinear

os.linearFilters
