# this is an example of a script that will convert the freeSurfer orig.mgz high resolution, 
# to a nifti format (anat.nii) that will be readable by spm. This will allow coregistration 
# of the freeSurfer reference anatomical (anat.nii) to the source image (spm native space 
# anatomical image) and any other image of your choice (e.g. mean*.nii)
