[pymvpa] [mvpa-toolbox] Fast ER design

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

for fast ER MVPA it is crucial to have proper trials order, so have a
look at recent

GK Aguirre, MG Mattar, L Magis-Weinberg. (2011) de Bruijn cycles for neural decoding. NeuroImage 56: 1293-1300
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21315160

with software

readily available from Debian (and NeuroDebian):

sudo apt-get install debruijn
