            timecourse-wise, access to image data.

nifticdf -- functions to compute cumulative distributions and their inverses

fsliolib -- i/o routines for reading and writing nifti-1 format files, higher
            level than niftilib, includes routines for reading the data blob by
            volume, timecourse, etc., and, addresses image orientation issues.
