Hi Rick,

I'm just restarting this thread because I'm dealing with some new sparse sampling design data and would like some help. First, is there a "standard" way that you've developed to deal with these gaps in the acquisition? If not, can you please outline (or send me a link to documentation) your current feelings on the best way to analyze these data?

Here are some details of my design:

trial length = 24 seconds
acquisition time/trial = 18 seconds
silent period/trial = 6 seconds
TR = 2 seconds
run length = 33 trials

So, we have 594 seconds of acquired data taking place over a period of 792 seconds.

Thanks for your advice,
Adam
