¥ Solving a visually presented puzzle:
a) subject sees puzzle
b) subject cogitates a while
c) subject responds with solution
¥ The problem is that we expect some voxels to be significant in phase (b) as well as phases (a) and/or (c)
¥ Variable length of phase (b) means that shape for its response varies between trials
HWhich is contrary to the whole idea of averaging trials together to get decent statistics (which is basically what linear regression amounts to, in a fancy sort of way)
¥ Could assume response amplitude in phase (b) is constant across trials, and response duration varies directly with time between phases (a) and (c)
HNeed three HRFs; phase (b)Õs is a little tricky to generate using waver, but it could be done
Even More Complicated Case
