Just a quick series of thoughts:

when you really intend to regress out BOLD activation caused by NEURAL 
activity driving the movement of the head (which could be due to example 
flexion/extension of nech/shoulder/torso muscles, to mention a few) 
rather than MRI acquisition related signals, you might want to include 
the 2nd derivitive of the parameter describing the relevent movement 
component, and convolve that with the HRF. Many motor areas react 
proportional to the applied force when I remember well, and as most of 
you probably know Newtonion mechanics says that F=m * a, where a is the 
acceleration of a body with mass m.

However, finding the relevant movent component from the 6 realignment 
parameters would not be that straightforward, since biomechanically the 
muscle force is applied along an angular moment with an axis of rotation 
resembling a line through the back of the head touching the plane 
supporting the head. This axis is also changing with head rotation, to 
complicate things further.

To make a long story short: I wouldn't bother about that, unless you are 
really interested in areas where neck/shoulder/etc mucsle motor activity 
is expected.

As said before, the effects of movement on B0 distortion and 
spin-history artifacts is probably much larger.

Regards,

Bas
