  SPIKETIMES2BINS - Convert a list of spike times to discrete time bins

    SPIKE_COUNTS = vlt.neuro.spiketrains.spiketimes2bins(SPIKETIMES, TIMES)

    Takes a list of spike times (in units of TIMES) and calculates the
    number of spikes that fall within time bins TIMES(i) - TIMES(i+1).
    If a spike occurred at exactly time TIMES(i) then it is included in
    bin i.

    Note that bins can contain more than one spike.

    Example: Generate a list of bins in spike times, get the spike times,
             and then convert it back to bins.

      dt = 0.001;
      T = 0:dt:10; % 10 seconds
      R = 5*vlt.math.rectify(sin(2*pi*3*T));
      S = (rand(size(T))<R*dt); %generate spikes with probability R*dt
      spike_indexes = find(S); % find which bins have spikes
      spiketimes = T(spike_indexes);  % get the time of those bins

      S2 = vlt.neuro.spiketrains.spiketimes2bins(spiketimes,T); % convert back

      all(S==S2)    % are these vectors equal? Yes!
