Hello, I'm trying to create trial sequences for a slow event related fMRI experiment. I have 10 classes of stimuli, and each stimulus lasts 5 sec and repeats twice in a run.
Environment: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I ran: ./optseq2 --ntp 144 --tr 2.5 \ --ev evt1 5 2 --ev evt2 5 2 --ev evt3 5 2 --ev evt4 5 2 --ev evt5 5 2 --ev evt6 5 2 --ev evt7 5 2 --ev evt8 5 2 --ev evt9 5 2 --ev evt10 5 2 \ --nkeep 10 --psdwin 0 20 --o exp_video \ --tnullmax 25 --tnullmin 7.5 \ --nsearch 10000 Almost all of the sequences have extremely long NULL at the end of a run, like 82.5sec (please see one of sequences below). I am aware that optseq2 is for rapid event related fMRI, and wonder if the problem is due to specific parameters of my design, or due to a bug. I would appreciate any comments or help. Thank you very much!
