Thanks for the advertisement Isaac!  I've uploaded a temporary bug fix as a replacement master script for those of you who have not already hacked the script with Isaac's fix to workaround my bug.  I will be releasing the next version at the end of the year, and this version will have a automated filtering routine that will be easier to simply check for success/failure.  I'm trying to figure out whats taking so long in the cardiac temporal dither fix script, and if all goes well the next version should be faster.  I'll also try to output text files that AFNI and FSL can use as slicewise regressors - the trick is that they have to be slicewise to have the same accurate timing.  There are a few other things in the todo list, but it sounds like these are at the top of user's requests - if there is anything else, please let me know.

Isaac, thank you so much for figuring out an improved way of passing args to MATLAB.  That is truly awesome and has made my weekend!  Again, thanks for trying out PESTICA and I'm glad it is now working for you!
