Regarding indices used for subjects & sessions

[alexvicegrab]

I noticed that we often use the i and j indices for subjects and sessions, but these are used for matlab as imaginary number representations. If we use these indices, it becomes more difficult to do things with imaginary numbers, such as when we consider magnitude and phase EPI images. Should we attempt to use other indices, such as p (participants) and s (sessions) instead in future?

Good idea! I have shifted towards "subj" and "sess", and sometimes
"subjind" and "sessind" to adhere to my personal convention of using "ind"
as a suffix for the iterator in a for loop.

Do you like either of these?

That sounds good, I will change my own modules to conform to that!
