[FieldTrip] Format for ft_volumewrite?

Thanks Johanna. Ft_read_mri only pulls from a file, correct? I'm trying to
pull a single volume from the buffer using ft_read_data, and then write it
out to a nifti file using ft_volumewrite, but ft_read_data does not output
the volume in a structure that ft_volumewrite wants.
