cor2avw

 cor2avw - Read Freesurfer MRI data (COR-001 to COR-256)

 [ avw, machine ] = cor2avw(path, machine)

 path - the full path to the COR-??? image files.  If empty,
        this function uses uigetfile to locate COR-001.
 
 machine - a string, see machineformat in fread for details.
           The default here is 'ieee-le' but the routine
           will automatically switch between little and big
           endian to read any such Analyze header.  It
           reports the appropriate machine format and can
           return the machine value.
 
 This function returns an Analyze data structure, with fields:
 
 avw.hdr - a struct with image data parameters.
 avw.img - a 3D matrix of image data (double precision).
