Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write great explanations! I have printed it out and will re-read everything to really understand it.
Instead of creating new threads, is it okay if I keep posting new questions in this thread?
If so, I have a question on creating variables. I have tried to research and come up with a solution (to the text quoted below) on my own but I do not know if I am on the right track. If possible could you tell me if I am moving in the right direction?

So as far as trying to distinguish between "100_eddy_corrected_brain.nii.gz" and "100_eddy_corrected_brain_mask.nii.gz" if you could define the first as a variable, say $eddy_file or something of the sort, you could pipe it through to a cut command defining a period as your delimiter and take everything in front of it, so something like:
{echo $eddy_file | cut -d. -f1}_mask.nii.gz
But that would depend on using the "set" command to create the variable.
I have come up with the following: though I am not sure what is meant by using the 'set' command.
The eddy_corrected_brain.txt is a text file with pathnames of all the files that match eddy_corrected_brain.nii.gz from the initial find command/results.
