Would the following commands accomplish adding the mean of the non-clean
data to each volume of the FIX cleaned data?

Original.dtseries.nii : non-cleaned dense data
Clean.dtseries.nii    : cleaned data

wb_command -cifti-reduce Original.dtseries.nii MEAN MEAN.dscalar.nii
wb_command -cifti-math "a+b" clean_plus_mean.dtseries.nii -var a
Clean.dtseries.nii -var b MEAN.dscalar.nii -select 1 1 -repeat


Is this correct? Is there a better way to do it?
