Release Name: SpinHistory simulation using SLOMOCO

Notes:
This set of scripts is a work in progress package for simulating T1 spin history effects in 2D EPI timeseries (e.g. functional MRI or connectivity) data due to fast head motion. It is meant to replace the slomoco sub-package released recently, by incorporating additional T1 preparation scripts and a simulator that is reasonably fast (<1hr for 128x128x31 dataset) and simulates at 1% of the slice thickness. T1 effects are all about out-of-plane motion, and that is all that is simulated here, by combining this with SLOMOCO, the goal is to perform a complete correction of motion effects in BOLD rs-fMRI and fMRI data.

Also included is a new PESTICA filter script and a new physio estimator script for SLOMOCO output. SLOMOCO estimates nearly always contain sufficient respiratory noise to isolate respiratory trace, and sometimes contain sufficient cardiac signature (works most of the time at 7T but not often at 3T). This script can be used with SLOMOCO output to produce respiratory traces and sometimes cardiac traces that could be used similar to PESTICA estimators and monitored pulse and respiration. Also still a work in progress.
