function event_peaks=find_peaks_within_threshold_crossing_regions(threshold,event_jitter,data_that_crosses_threshold)
%description:  finds segments of a vector that exceed a threshold, finds the index of the maximum value within each segment (the peak), and removes peaks that occur within event_jitter of the previous peak
