NHP-pRF/Toolboxes/NIfTI/make_nii.m

%  Make NIfTI structure specified by an N-D matrix. Usually, N is 3 for 
%  3D matrix [x y z], or 4 for 4D matrix with time series [x y z t]. 
%  Optional parameters can also be included, such as: voxel_size, 
%  origin, datatype, and description. 
%  
%  Once the NIfTI structure is made, it can be saved into NIfTI file 
%  using "save_nii" command (for more detail, type: help save_nii). 
%  
%  Usage: nii = make_nii(img, [voxel_size], [origin], [datatype], [description])
%
%  Where:
%
%	img:		Usually, img is a 3D matrix [x y z], or a 4D
%			matrix with time series [x y z t]. However,
%			NIfTI allows a maximum of 7D matrix. When the
%			image is in RGB format, make sure that the size
%			of 4th dimension is always 3 (i.e. [R G B]). In
%			that case, make sure that you must specify RGB
%			datatype, which is either 128 or 511.
%
%	voxel_size (optional):	Voxel size in millimeter for each
%				dimension. Default is [1 1 1].
%
%	origin (optional):	The AC origin. Default is [0 0 0].
%
%	datatype (optional):	Storage data type:
%		2 - uint8,  4 - int16,  8 - int32,  16 - float32,
%		32 - complex64,  64 - float64,  128 - RGB24,
%		256 - int8,  511 - RGB96,  512 - uint16,
%		768 - uint32,  1792 - complex128
%			Default will use the data type of 'img' matrix
%			For RGB image, you must specify it to either 128
%			or 511.
%
%	description (optional):	Description of data. Default is ''.
%
%  e.g.:
%     origin = [33 44 13]; datatype = 64;
%     nii = make_nii(img, [], origin, datatype);    % default voxel_size
%
%  NIFTI data format can be found on: http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov
