Hello afni experts,

I have a question regarding setting up my 3dDeconvolve model after I have done all the initial preprocessing steps for a generalized PPI analysis.

I conducted a typical differential delay fear conditioning task with a fear acquisition phase and a fear extinction phase. In my initial 3dDeconvolve model prior to conducting a PPI, I had both the fear acquisition run and my fear extinction run within the same model. So, within my timing files, for my acquisition stimuli, I had my times for the first run and an "*" to serve as a place holder for the second run (fear extinction). Similarly for my fear extinction stimuli, I had an "*" for the first run (fear acquisition) and my timing for the fear extinction stimuli for my second run.

So for my PPI analysis, I have a CS+ Interaction term during aquisition, a CS- Interaction term for aquisition, a CS+ Interaction term for extinction, and a CS- interaction term for extinction.

My question is, since I had incorporated both fear aquisition and fear extinction in my initial model, is it possible to incorporate all acquisition and extinction interaction terms for my 3dDeconvolve for the PPI? Would I need a row of zeros within each of the these interaction terms as place holders for when fear extinction or when fear aquisition is off? I guess how would I let the program know that the scaled run1 goes with fear aquisition and the scaled run 2 goes with fear extinction?

Additionally I need to put the seed in as a regressor (so I have the seed times series during acqusition and then the time series during extinction). Again I am not sure how to let the program know that one regressor goes with one run and the other goes with run two.

I am sorry if I am making this confusing . Below is my initial 3dDeconvolve model:
