Ah, thank you for the clarification.  When I've seen the '.wav' suffix  
used, it's usually indicated an audio file -- hence my confusion. I don't  
know the first thing about neuro-imaging, but a quick search revealed a  
few things. I presume you're using a program like  
http://cnl.web.arizona.edu/waver.htm to generate your .wav file?
