Hi Yaroslav,

but then what would you do with such an array? ;) you would have
different number of features in different samples -- do you want to
consider it as a "sparse" array may be -- so some samples would not have
all features present, ie equivalent if we just had them zero-ed out?

what is the real usecae, why don't you like to have them all to have
maximal duratoin (ie 8sec)?
May be I totally misunderstood the concept of spatio-temporal classification,.. :-)

Lets assume an experimental design looking like this:

# Block I

CUE_A
DELAY_A
DELAY_A
TGT_X
--REST

# Block II

CUE_B
DELAY_B
DELAY_B
DELAY_B
TGT_Y
--REST

# Block III
CUE_B
DELAY_B
TGT_Y
--REST
...


Lets assume I want to classify the delaytype (A vs. B). In the first case my delay takes 4 sec (TR=2) in the second case the delay covers 6sec, in the third case 2sec. and so on. Now you suggest to take the maximum event duration (6sec. in this example)? As I understand the Erniftidataset, this would cause the problem, that the classifier is also trained on the features belonging to the TGT_X class in Block I and TGT_Y + REST class in Block III.

My usecase is, that the Boxcarmapper should only cover the corresponding features for one class.

Am I on the woodway :-) ?

Bests,
Matthias

Hi,


I am currently analysing an event-related design with different
event durations (4, 6 or 8 sec.). As far as I can see, it is not
possible to use the ERNiftiDataset for this purpose cause it takes
the maximum boxlengths for "all" events.
