function [time, rate] = binned_rate(spike_times, bin_width, dt, t_max)
|
|
% Calculates the firing rate with the binning method. The hist funciton is

|
% used to count the number of spikes in each bin.
|
|
% Arguments:
|
|
% spike_times, 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.
