NHP-pRF/Analysis_code/LISA/OnServer/NIfTI/get_nii_frame.m

%  Return time frame of a NIFTI dataset. Support both *.nii and 
%  *.hdr/*.img file extension. If file extension is not provided,
%  *.hdr/*.img will be used as default. 
%
%  It is a lightweighted "load_nii_hdr", and is equivalent to
%  hdr.dime.dim(5)
%  
%  Usage: [ total_scan ] = get_nii_frame(filename)
%
%  filename - NIFTI file name.
%
%  Returned values:
%
%  total_scan - total number of image scans for the time frame
%
%  NIFTI data format can be found on: http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov
