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

See these papers for examples of dealing with
RT confounds.

Desai, R., Conant, L.L., Waldron, E., & Binder, J.R. (2006). fMRI of past tense processing: The effects of phonological complexity and task difficulty. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 18, 278-297.

Binder J.R., Medler D.A., Desai R., Conant L.L., Liebenthal E. (2005). Some neurophysiological constraints on models of word naming. NeuroImage, 27, 677-693.

(they are availalbe at [www.neuro.mcw.edu]
under "publications").

Basically, the idea is to include the RT for each trial as a within-condition regressor. If you have two conditions A and B, then you have two binary regressors in 3dDeconvolve coding A and B. Include two additional regressors, A-RT and B-RT, that have the RT instead of the '1' in the A and B regressors respectively. You don't want a single regressor coding RT for both conditions, because that can also account for some non-RT related differences between the conditions. The you can compute a map of areas that are commonly activated by A-RT and B-RT to see the areas that are modulated by RT regardless of the condition. Hope this helps.
