% parallel port inputs wer inserted as separate lines into the
% ET raw data (e.g. "INPUT" lines for Eyelink trackers). These lines have
% a timestamp that is slightly *different* from that of any data sample.
% Therefore, we need to search for the data sample that is closest to the

% To do for future versions:
% Rather than just counting the ET samples to estimate the ET sampling rate,
% we need to considerer that the ET recording may have occasionally been
% *paused* by the user (causing large forward jumps in the ET timestamp).
% Therefore, we could use the median (robust against occasional recording
% pauses) interval between sucessive ET samples to estimate ET rate...
%
% % get median inter-sample-intervals for ET...
