Visualize channel over epochs as an image#

This will produce what is sometimes called an event related potential / field (ERP/ERF) image.

Two images are produced, one with a good channel and one with a channel that does not show any evoked field.

It is also demonstrated how to reorder the epochs using a 1D spectral embedding as described in [1].
