The t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092_mask.nii.gz
defines the mask for t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092.nii.gz
, as used in the examples.
The mask used here is an all-brain mask; it just removes non-brain regions, as the result of applying a brain extraction tool to the specified dataset.
Other masks may be defined to select regions of interest (ROIs).
The file t1_pn3_rf0_slice_0092_mask.nii.gz
is in gzipped NIFTI format.
The R-package oro.nifti is required to read gzipped NIFTI files.
