Q39. What is the format of a .BRIK file?
A .BRIK file contains nothing but voxel values. If a dataset has 1 sub-brick, which is 100x100x100 voxels, and the values stored are shorts (2 bytes each), then the .BRIK file will have exactly 2,000,000 bytes. All the formatting information is stored in the .HEAD file. For example, this .BRIK file would also be compatible with a 1000x100x10 array. The dimensions are stored in the .HEAD file, along with the voxel sizes, location in the magnet, and other such auxiliary information.
