Is NIfTI-1 compatible with the ANALYZE 7.5 file format?

(Jeff Woodward) [Temporary answer by RW Cox] We hope so. The interpretation of many of the fields in the ANALYZE 7.5 header is not very clear. Most such fields aren’t widely used by software other than ANALYZE itself. After considerable discussion, we kept the ANALYZE 7.5-defined fields that seemed widely used in the FMRI community. The goal was to have non-NIfTI-aware FMRI packages that use the ANALYZE 7.5 format still be able to read most NIfTI-1 files. Time and experience will tell if this goal has been met.
