hi bruce,

the mask was generated by morphing a binary mask from CVS space back to the
subject's anatomical space.  the cvs mask was generated from a functional
parcellation algorithm our lab uses.

if it's useful -- the registration header in the anatomical-space mask is
identical to the orig.mgz's.
