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

Hello,

Your interpretation seems correct.

Note that TENT(0,20,20) will not be TR-locked. You probably want TENT(0,20,21), and Gang would suggest using TENT(1,19,19), to omit time points for which you expect the betas to be zero.

The 20-second interval from 0 20 needs 21 betas to include the end points, measured at times 0..20 (so 21).


As you thought, the duration modulation part of the stimulus is indeed being treated as amplitude modulation, because it is not possible to use DM with TENTs. Doing so would mean either spacing the 21 knots at varying time points or using a variable number of knots, either of which would alter the interpretation of the betas across events. The program does not give a warning or error, because it has a liberal interpretation of the punctuation, applying as "seems appropriate".
