\question The dataset \code{lifoustim.mat} contains the responses of a (model) neuron to a time-varying stimulus.
The dataset stores three variables: 1st the spike times in different trials,
2nd the stimulus, and 3rd the temporal resolution of the recording. The total
duration of each trial is 30 seconds.

deviates more than $2\sigma$ (twice the standard deviation) from the average.
