I have used python to analyse some fMRI data and would now like to save my results as niftis that I can then use in an SPM analysis.
My data scores is an array of float64 of shape (97, 115, 97). I have used the following code to save it:
import nibabel as nib
import nilearn
scores_image = nib.Nifti1Image(scores,affine = np.eye(4))
nib.save(scores_image,"scores.nii")
However, when I load the data into SPM I notice that both the origin and the scale are different from what SPM is expecting: Comparison of my scores.nii (upper image) and a standard SPM nifti
Does anyone know which code would automatically save my scores variable with the same origin and size as SPM is expecting?
Update: Here is the header of an SPM image with highlight where it differs from my own image:
comp_img = nib.load('spmT_0014.nii')
print(comp_img.header)

I have found a way to do this by using the following code:
Which gives me the following (upper image is the SPM one and lower image is the one I created):
