Description: Provides functions to read and write neuroimaging data in
        various file formats, with a focus on 'FreeSurfer' formats.
        This includes, but is not limited to, the following file
        formats: 1) MGH/MGZ/NIFTI format files, which can contain
        multi-dimensional images or other data. Typically they contain
        time-series of three-dimensional brain scans acquired by
        magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They can also contain
        vertex-wise measures of surface morphometry data. The MGH
        format is named after the Massachusetts General Hospital, and
        the MGZ format is a compressed version of the same format. 2)
        'FreeSurfer' morphometry data files in binary 'curv' format.
        These contain vertex-wise surface measures, i.e., one scalar
        value for each vertex of a brain surface mesh. These are
        typically values like the cortical thickness or brain surface
        area at each vertex. 3) Annotation file format. This contains a
        brain surface parcellation derived from a cortical atlas. 4)
        Surface file format. Contains a brain surface mesh, given by a
        list of vertices and a list of faces.
