title: Numpy - select several continuous rows
body: <p>I have an EEG signal in a Numpy Array.
  I sliced the Array, so i do have each channel of interest in an own array (x rows an 1 coloumn).</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to select 1 second periods of this specific Array, but I just cant figure out how to do this in a single argument.</p>
  
  <p>Now in Matlab i could do following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>eeg_short = eeg(13:20, 27:30, 44, 60:end],:);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Meaning that I do get the 13th to 20th, 27th to 30th ..... and 60th to the last row of each coloumn in this array.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this with Numpy?
  I tried several commands, like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fz_short = fz[[7084:7084+256, 15620:15630+256],:]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which returns that ":" is an invalid syntax...</p>
