Thanks - that's one easy way to do the fix.

If you wanted to use nibabel, you could also do the following:

"""
import nibabel as nib

fname = 'C1_Rel_thres40.0.nii.gz'

# The following just selects the right object to open the file - in
# this case zipfile.ZipFile
with nib.openers.Opener(fname) as fobj:
    hdr = nib.Nifti1Header.from_fileobj(fobj, check=False)  # don't raise error
    data = hdr.data_from_fileobj(fobj)
hdr['magic'] = b'n+1\x00'
img = nib.Nifti1Image(data, None, hdr)
nib.save(img, 'fixed.nii.gz')
"""

Cheers,

Matthew
