RhFFA_sphere.label when loaded on functional data seems to correspond
to RhFFA_sphere.nii.gz when loaded on anatomical data. When the label
is just loaded on the nii.gz file, they seem to overlap, but if they
are both overlaid on an anatomical image, the label is far superior to
the nii.gz mask.

At this point, I am going to load nifit mask and the beta.nii file
that corresponds to a particular analysis into matlab and calculate
the average beta value for a particular ROI that way. There's a less
guessing and I have better control over what I'm calculating.

Thanks though!
