function [orient,cano_rot]=cosmo_fmri_orientation(ds)
% get orientation of a dataset
%
% [orient,cano_rot]=cosmo_fmri_orientation(ds)
%
% Inputs:
% ds fmri dataset struct;
%
% Output:
% orient three letter string indicating the orientation of this
% dataset
% cano_rot canonical rotation matrix (relative to LPI)
%
% Example:
% ds=cosmo_synthetic_dataset();
% [orient,cano_rot]=cosmo_fmri_orientation(ds);
% disp(orient)
% %|| LPI
% disp(cano_rot)
% %|| 1 0 0 0
% %|| 0 1 0 0
% %|| 0 0 1 0
% %|| 0 0 0 1
%
% Notes:
% - there are 3!*3^2 valid orientations, these are:
% 'SAR' 'SAL' 'SPR' 'SPL' 'IAR' 'IAL' 'IPR' 'IPL'
% 'SRA' 'SLA' 'SRP' 'SLP' 'IRA' 'ILA' 'IRP' 'ILP'
% 'ASR' 'ASL' 'PSR' 'PSL' 'AIR' 'AIL' 'PIR' 'PIL'
% 'ARS' 'ALS' 'PRS' 'PLS' 'ARI' 'ALI' 'PRI' 'PLI'
% 'RAS' 'LAS' 'RPS' 'LPS' 'RAI' 'LAI' 'RPI' 'LPI'
% 'RSA' 'LSA' 'RSP' 'LSP' 'RIA' 'LIA' 'RIP' 'LIP'
% For example, 'LPI' (used in Talairach/MNI) means that
% * the first dimension goes from left to right
% * the second dimension goes from posterior to anterior
% * the third dimension goes from inferior to superior
