ctf_mri2avw.m

function avw = ctf_mri2avw(mri)

% avw = ctf_mri2avw(mri)
%
% The purpose of this function is to convert a CTF .mri volume into 
% an Analyze volume.  The returned avw struct can be saved using avw_write.
%
% This function depends on the avw* functions availabe in the mri_toolbox
% at http://eeg.sf.net/.
