hi Gang
thanks a lot for your response. I have a few questions.
1) I'm still confused about whether it is justified to ignore any pre-stimulus anticipatory effects, which is what TENTzero seems to do. And yet, at least in my case the stats come out the same, it's really just a question of how the plotted responses look.
2) Could you explain to me, more generally, why TENTzero exists? That is, what was the motivation for adding it to AFNI in the first place? If I understood that, perhaps I could answer my own questions.
thanks
James
