AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Hi Jessica,

Those TR counts are for the BOLD responses - for how
many time points is each non-zero. Since rest comes
after task in each run, the computation is more simple
for the task terms (no BOLD response goes off the end
of a run).

The 60s Base task, when modeled with BLOCK(60,1) say,
has a 75s response curve, which probably comes out to
37 non-zero time points. Having 3 such blocks means
111 non-zero time points in total. The 2 30s tasks
have ~45s ideal BOLD responses, which are probably
non-zero for 22 time points, and 3 of those is 66.

Rest is the anomaly, as it goes to the end of a run.
The first 2 in a run do not go off, giving 74=37+37
time points. And then another 29 non-zero time
points at the end of the run gives 103.

However, you should probably not be modeling rest
at all. This is very close to a multi-collinear
system, and I suspect 3dDeconvolve is showing some
warnings. Is it?

Also, since these blocks are so long, I expect
the baseline model might be a confounding effect.
