    %  Input:
    %       nimages: struct containing description of stimulus
    %                (mincontrast, maxcontrast, ncontrasts, nangles)
    %       npulses: number of pulses recorded from the experiment
    %       maxrepeats: only analyze until the maxrepeats-th repeat

    %       seed: seed for ran1 (should be the same as in the experiment)

    %             marks the presentation of a gray sceen and 2,...,nimages+1
