API

• Added nave parameter to source_induced_power() and source_band_induced_power(), use nave=1 by default (wrong nave was used before).
• Use mne.layout.read_layout instead of mne.layout.Layout to read a layout file (.lout)
• Use raw.time_as_index instead of time_to_index (still works but is deprecated).
• The artifacts module (mne.artifacts) is now merged into mne.preprocessing
• Epochs objects now also take dicts as values for the event_id argument. They now can represent multiple conditions.
