def read_bvals_bvecs(fbvals, fbvecs):
    """Read b-values and b-vectors from disk.
    Parameters
    ----------
    fbvals : str
       Full path to file with b-values. None to not read bvals.
    fbvecs : str
       Full path of file with b-vectors. None to not read bvecs.
    Returns
    -------
    bvals : array, (N,) or None
    bvecs : array, (N, 3) or None
    Notes
    -----
    Files can be either '.bvals'/'.bvecs' or '.txt' or '.npy' (containing
