function createXmlFile_sequential_single_cell(xml_path, params, stim_sequence)

%{
Function to create a xml file to be uploaded to the prairie view
xml_path --> file's full path to be saved to.
savePAth --> path where to save the .xml file
numberNeurons -> How many neurons to randomly activate
reps --> amount of stim per neuron
flagRandom --> adding randomness to the targets of stimulation
Random only happens within repetitions
power 0.4 is a 100 in the gui
