    Hi
    
    I got a script from Ramiro that shows how to get the DVMs and included
    them in my plots. There are not so many for FS. The correlation with T1
    looks ok while the correlation for the few points that are there for T2
    seems less pronounced.
    
    The code used to generate these plots can be found in pc_app/tpc/dvvsrun. 
    There is an example of how to access the DVM data from brat.
    
    Cheers
       Peter
    
    P.s : Plots are on :
