- I want to go data-driven. That's why I mentioned ICA, to descriminate the components of the two classes i.e. one component should indicate a unique class. You said that this is not possible, so if that really i can change this plan! I'm interested in finding which brain regions can dissociate between different times of movies, in similarities or differences of time courses in different regions. Concerning the participants, commonalities are the most important to me.

- I downloaded AFNI matlab toolbox. There are many files, which one to be used? Is it possible to use matlab for creating Briks,because i didn't manage to do that in AFNI software.
Otherwise, i would like to thank you for all your answers. I don't think i understand quite well but in time this will be. Please be with me till the plan is clear so then we can go further into details.
