the output fields of the ``datasource`` node in the pipeline.

Setup the pipeline
------------------
The nodes created above do not describe the flow of data. They merely
describe the parameters used for each function. In this section we
setup the connections between the nodes such that appropriate outputs
from nodes are piped into appropriate inputs of other nodes.
Use the :class:`nipype.pipeline.engine.Pipeline` to create a
graph-based execution pipeline for first level analysis. The config
options tells the pipeline engine to use `workdir` as the disk
location to use when running the processes and keeping their
outputs. The `use_parameterized_dirs` tells the engine to create
sub-directories under `workdir` corresponding to the iterables in the
pipeline. Thus for this pipeline there will be subject specific
sub-directories.
The ``nipype.pipeline.engine.Pipeline.connect`` function creates the
links between the processes, i.e., how data should flow in and out of
the processing nodes.

Setup storage results
---------------------
Use :class:`nipype.interfaces.io.DataSink` to store selected outputs
from the pipeline in a specific location. This allows the user to
selectively choose important output bits from the analysis and keep
them.
The first step is to create a datasink node and then to connect
outputs from the modules above to storage locations. These take the
following form directory_name[.[@]subdir] where parts between [] are
optional. For example 'realign.@mean' below creates a directory called
realign in 'l1output/subject_id/' and stores the mean image output
from the Realign process in the realign directory. If the @ is left
out, then a sub-directory with the name 'mean' would be created and
the mean image would be copied to that directory.

Execute the pipeline
