% Load with cosmo_fmri_dataset and assign to a variable 'ds'

%% Show the dataset contents using cosmo_disp. Where can you see the
% number of voxels in the three spatial dimensions?
cosmo_disp(ds)
% the number of voxels in the spatial dimensions are present in
% ds.a.vol.dim, and are also indicated by the sizes of ds.a.fdim.values
% Show a histogram of all values in the dataset. For bonus points add axis
% labels.
% Hint: all data is present in ds.samples
hist(ds.samples,100)

%% There are a lot of zero values in the dataset. Find all non-zero values
% in ds.samples, and plot a histogram of those. What do the two bumps
% represent?

%% Using cosmo_plot_slices, show a saggital view of the dataset

% Make a copy of the dataset

%% ds.fa.i contains, for each feature (voxel), an index for the
% anterior-posterior position of that voxel.
% Set all voxels that have a value of less than 100 for ds.fa.i to zero,
% and plot the results

%% Advanced exercise: set all voxels around a center voxel at
% i=150,j=100,k=50 within a 40-voxel radius to zero, and display the result

% Pythogoras
squared_distance_from_center=sum(delta.^2,1);
% define mask

% set voxels to zero
