Looks like Matlab changed how uifigure works in the latest version. dicm2nii has no trouble creating the bids GUI figure on older matlab (2019a) but throws a "Error using uifigure, illegal first argument" on Matlab 2023b.
The offending line is 701 in idcm2nii.m
Referring to the figure args at line 692.
Specifically the first argument: 'bids'*256.^(0:3)'
As far as I can tell, it's there for octave support but doesn't do anything in matlab. Looks like 2019a ignored it but 2023b is a bit pickier.
Removing it has no apparent effect other than getting rid of the error.
