In terms of the samples array yes, but not for NiftiDataset. ATM it can
only digest NiftiImage objects and filenames as 'sample' arguments. So,
if you want to stick with NiftiDataset (which is a good idea IMHO) you
have to come up with a merged NiftiImage somehow. You could add an axis
to each beta image and recreate a new NiftiImage for each single beta
image, feed this into NiftiDataset and merge the datasets afterwards --
but this is a unnecessary complicated IMHO.

HTH,
