collapse_nii_scan(scan_pattern, fileprefix, scan_path)

%  Collapse multiple single-scan NIFTI files into a multiple-scan NIFTI file
%
%  Usage: collapse_nii_scan(scan_file_pattern, [collapsed_fileprefix], [scan_file_folder])
%
%  Here, scan_file_pattern should look like: 'myscan_0*.img'
%  If collapsed_fileprefix is omit, 'multi_scan' will be used
%  If scan_file_folder is omit, current file folder will be used
%
%  The order of volumes in the collapsed file will be the order of 
%  corresponding filenames for those selected scan files.
%
%  NIFTI data format can be found on: http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov
