function [time, rate] = binned_rate(spikes, bin_width, dt, t_max)
% PSTH computed with binning method.
% The hist funciton is used to count the number of spikes in each bin.
%
% [time, rate] = binned_rate(spikes, bin_width, dt, t_max)
%
% Arguments:
% spikes : vector containing the times of the spikes.
% bin_width: the width of the bins in seconds.
% dt : the temporal resolution.
% t_max : the tiral duration.
%
% Returns:
% two vectors containing the time and the rate.
time = 0:dt:t_max-dt;
bins = 0:bin_width:t_max;
rate = zeros(size(time));
h = hist(spikes, bins) ./ bin_width;
for i = 2:length(bins)
rate(round(bins(i-1)/dt) + 1:round(bins(i)/dt)) = h(i);
