##There are smalll differences in the mean firing rates because the two
##files have slightly difference start, end times (the .nex file uses
##the "proper" time of the recording).
##
## The two files also have slightly different beg,end times; the .nex file explicitly
## records this information, whereas sun.read.spikes  guesses it from spike times.
