The FIR assumes that your stimuli will be presented on a "clock", eg, on
a TR (not necessarily ever TR, but every time a stimulus is presented,
it starts on a TR). The "tick" of the clock can be the TR or it can be
an integer divisor of the TR (eg, TR/2 TR/3). The finer you make it, the
more flexibility you have as to when a stimulus can occur. But you loose
power based on the divisor, eg, TR/3 means that you'll have 1/3 the power.

Hi Doug

Thank you very much for your reply. How does it make a difference if I use FIR? 
Could you please explain a little bit more?

If you are going to assume a shape to the hemodynamic response, then I
don't think it makes much difference. It will make a difference if you
are going to use an FIR.

If you are going to assume a shape to the hemodynamic response, then I

[Freesurfer] Opseq2 question

2019-09-09 Thread Nasiriavanaki, Zahra
Hi Freesurfer experts

I have a question about designing an event related task. We are designing a 
task for fear conditioning. Each stimuli presentation lasts 4 seconds. My 
question is if we set the TR to 2 (which is a multiply of 4), will it make the 
paradigm to have more power in signal detection? Or does it not matter if the 
TR and stimuli presentation be a multiply of each other or not?
I appreciate if you give me your comments on that.

Thanks a lot
Mona
