Adding a simple example to explain the creation of the trialDefinition files

ExampleSimple/Readme.txt

+This is an example trial definition file for the exported vp001_acq.mat file containing EDA data.
+The EDA data were recorded with a BIOPAC MP150 system using the GSR100C module.
+
+You can find more information about the experiment itself and the possibilities for evaluation in

+%% Marking positions in trials
+% If you want to mark special positions in time when plotting the EDA you
+% can define the time, the color of the marker and the name here.
+% These entries have no influence of the EDA analysis, BUT each entry here
+% will result in an extra Excel file when using exportEDA.
+%
+% Each marker needs three entries for each trial that what defined above:
+%   * Positions in time (all entries in seconds). If a marker doesn't exist
+%     in a trial it has to be marked as -1 for that trial.
+%   * A name of the marker
+%   * Color of the marker
+%               'y' --> [1 1 0] --> yellow
+%               'm' --> [1 0 1] --> magenta
+%               'c' --> [0 1 1] --> cyan
+%               'g' --> [0 1 0] --> green
+%               'b' --> [0 0 1] --> blue
