function data = CalcFR(data,varargin)
%% data = CalcFR(data,'option',value)
% Inputs:
% data - DynaSim data structure (see CheckData)
% options:
% 'variable' - name of field containing data on which to calculate firing
% rates (default: *_spikes or first variable in data.labels)
% 'threshold' - scalar threshold value for detecting events (default: 0)
% 'bin_size' - size of temporal window over which to calculate rate [ms or fraction of data set] (default: 5% of the data set)
% 'bin_shift' - how much to shift the bin before calculating rate again [ms or fraction of data set] (default: 1% of the data set)
% 'exclude_data_flag' - whether to remove simulated data from result structure (default: 0)
% Outputs:
% data: data structure with firing rates [Hz] in .variable_FR
%
% note:
% "variable" can be specified as the name of a variable listed in
% data.labels, a cell array of string listing variable names, or as a
% regular expression pattern for identifying variables to process.
% See SelectVariables for more info on supported specifications.
%
% note:
% DynaSim spike monitor returns spike data in variables *_spikes.
% eg, data=SimulateModel('dv/dt=@current+10; {iNa,iK}; monitor v.spikes');
% returns spikes in data.pop1_v_spikes (where 'pop1' is the default
% population name if not specified by the user).
%
% Examples:
% s.populations(1).name='E';
% s.populations(1).equations='dv/dt=@current+10; {iNa,iK}; v(0)=-65';
% s.populations(2).name='I';
% s.populations(2).equations='dv/dt=@current+10; {iNa,iK}; v(0)=-65';
% data=SimulateModel(s);
% data=CalcFR(data,'variable','*_v');
% data % contains firing rates for E and I pops in .E_v_FR and .I_v_FR.
