    # _exp.txt is the constant part of the files I want to move
    [[ -d /Users/name/Desktop/SUBJ/$i ]] || mkdir -p /Users/name/Desktop/SUBJ/$i

       - extract an example volume

       - perform motion correction using the example volume as reference

       - conservative skull-stripping and brain mask generation

       - masking of the motion-corrected timeseries with the brain mask

       All results will be stored either in the current directory, or in a subdirectory with the subject ID (if specified).
