[pymvpa] Searchlight on a vstack-ed dataset: Which imghdr to use for niftiresults?

[Usman Sheikh]

Hi Mr. Yaroslav,

Thanks for your email. Sorry for an incomplete question. Yes, all the other session's functional images are already aligned to the first one. And this is exactly why I was biased towards using the first one's imghdr for the niftiresults. 

Thanks,

well -- it is your decision to make I guess ;)
What if they are all different etc.  If you aligned them all into the
same space, then you would be the one to know that it is  "kosher" to
take [0]th one
