% This routine is called when we try to whiten the noise in the
% event-related GLM tools.

% Given a matrix of time series, Y, and an estimated error for each voxel,
% E, and a frame period, tr, estimate the temporal noise covariance matrix
% for each voxel, C.

% Size of each argument:
% Input: Y: # Time Points x # Voxels x # Runs
%        E: 
%        tr: single integer
% Output: C: # Predictors x # Predictors x # Runs
%         The # of predictors is the total # of
%         different predictors in a GLM, including
%         DC baseline estimate predictors and, if
%         a selective-averaging GLM is being applied,
%         all nh hemodynamic predictors for each condition.
%         (The # predictors is the # of columns in the
%         design matrix produced by er_createDesMtx.)
