Support for Philips physiological recordings read-in

[m-miedema]

It would be nice to be able to process Philips proprietary data formats for physiological recordings.

Possible Implementation

• already implemented by @mrikasper in PhysIO toolbox (Matlab) here: https://github.com/translationalneuromodeling/tapas/blob/master/PhysIO/code/readin/tapas_physio_read_physlogfiles_philips.m
• another reimplementation was inspired by PhysIO's approach in Python a few years back by Lukas Snoek: https://github.com/lukassnoek/scanphyslog2bids

also per @mrikasper :

The key issue with Philips is that they don't have good time stamps for the scanner events (when does a volume start etc). So you have to either infer this from nominal timing (scanphyslog file ends shortly after last volume) or use regularities in the imaging gradient time course that is written to the same file. The latter is implemented in PhysIO as well , have a look here:https://github.com/translationalneuromodeling/tapas/blob/master/PhysIO/code/sync/tapas_physio_create_scan_timing.m
