AnalyzeFMRI (version 1.1-16)

st2xyzt: st2xyzt

Description

Encode and assemble a space code with a time code dimension into the combined one byte xyzt.units field of a NIFTI header file.

Usage

st2xyzt(space,time)

Arguments

space

space field of a NIFTI file

time

time field of a NIFTI file

Value

A list containing xyzt.units field.

Bits 0..2 of xyzt.units specify the units of pixdim[2..4] (e.g., spatial units are values 0,1,2,...,7). Bits 3..5 of xyzt.units specify the units of pixdim[5] (e.g., temporal units are multiples of 8: 0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56).

This compression of 2 distinct concepts into 1 byte is due to the limited space available in the 348 byte ANALYZE 7.5 header.

Some NIFTI codes: 0 (unspecified units), 1 (meters), 2 (millimeters), 3 (micrometers), 8 (seconds), 16 (milliseconds), 24 (microseconds), 32 (Hertz), 40 (ppm, part per million) and 48 (radians per second).
