It's near the beginning - specifically, if it's the only extension
(which will usually be true), then it will start at byte 352 of the
file.   So yes, if you open the nifti file with a standard text
editor, as long as it doesn't try and force you into using a hex
display or something, you should see the header extension text on the
first screen.
