This PR refactors the
load_data
function to allow it's use for gifti images with more than one data array (e.g. for timeseries/functional data). There were a few issues with the function, which are related to how theagg_data
method for GiftiImage objects (from nibabel) handles the intents of data arrays: when the intents of a data array is set toNIFTI_INTENT_TIMESERIES
, theagg_data
method returns a 2D ndarray, but when the intents are something else (e.g.NIFTI_INTENT_SHAPE
), then the data arrays are returned as a tuple of multiple 1D array. Theload_data
was not working as expected in either of these cases (i.e. it couldn't load nor stack data images into numpy arrays).This PR should fix Issue #139
