function codeKeeper = syncPatternDetectNEV(NEVStruct)

% syncPatternDetectNEV
%
% Finds the code for the SYNC pattern on the SYNC output of Blackrock
% Microsystems Neural Signal Processor (NSP) recorded by analog input 
% channel 16 and thresholded as extracted spikes and saved in the NEV file.
%
%   INPUT
%
%   NEVStruct:  The NEV structure containing the SYNC pulse.
%
%   OUTPUT
%
%   codeKeeper: A cell structure containing the unique code and their
%               respective timestamps.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%   USAGE EXAMPLE: 
%   
%   codeKeeper = syncPatternDetectNEV(NEVStruct)
%
%   In the example above, the NEV structure, containing the continueus 
%   signal from the SYNC pulse is passed to the function. The output will 
%   contain the unique codes parsed from the signal file and their 
%   respective timestamps.
