[pymvpa] search-light vs. ROI analysis: significance puzzle

[Malin Björnsdotter]

Hi! It is indeed lovely, I rarely have the patience for exhaustive
searches at all (the results are (quantitatively) the same anyway (and
qualitatively better)). I'm afraid I only have Matlab code though, and
I'm not fluent enough in neither Python nor PyMPVA to implement it.
(Yet.) ~Malin
