Hi John,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Because the template encompasses the whole head, while the functional
runs only have a small slab of recorded voxels, new voxels are added, so
the file sizes increases drastically.

How can I find out the size of my bounding box? I think I would like to
reduce it but don't know what the 2x3 matrix represents. Can I click on
different parts of the image and select the boundary points that contain
all of the image?

Regards,
Glad
