Your question touches on something I've been meaning to post about: how
exactly to shape a searchlight? As far as I know, there isn't a consensus.
I posted images at
http://mvpa.blogspot.com/2012/09/searchlight-shapes.html showing
one-voxel-radius surrounds containing 6, 18, and 26 voxels. (If you know
of others in use, let me know!)
I'll leave it for the pyMVPA experts to say if a one-voxel radius
searchlight corresponds to 9 voxels; that doesn't sound right to me,
either.

Dear PyMVPA experts,
r=0, 1, 3 respectively correspond to 1, 9, 123 voxels in the following page:
http://dev.pymvpa.org/examples/searchlight.html
However, doesn't r=1 encompass 1 center+6 faces=7 voxels?
Also, is there a formula for calculating the number of voxels given a
specific radius?
Finally, suppose a voxel=3*3*3mm, is it correct that r=3 covers up a
neighborhood of (left 3*3mm + center 1*3mm + right 3*3mm)=21mm spherically?
Thanks!
