function [outEEG] = removeEvent(inEEG, events, removeLabels)
%removeEvent        Removes previously marked data. 
%
%  Inputs:
%      inEEG        EEG structure from EEGLAB EEG dataset
%     events        previously highlighted data from markEvent
% removeLabels      cell array of strings to denote which labels you want 
%                   to remove from the data
%
%  Outputs:
%  outEEG           EEG structure with removed data. Boundary events are
%                   inserted where the removed data was located
