FYI: autostimdur is not valid in version 5.X because the stimulus duration is supplied in the paradigm file. For earlier versions, there was no info in the par file about the duration. The -autostimdur will compute the duration of the stimulus from the paradigm file based upon the time to the next stimulus entry this works as long as all time is accounted for in the parfile and no stimuli overlap. If you use -no-autostimdur, then it will assume that the duration of the event is equal to the TR.

I'm a bit confused about what the -autostimdur and -noautostimdur flags in mkanalysis-sess do. I've checked the help files, but the wording is a bit confusing, and when I run them on my event related design, I get different results depending on which flag I use, with the -noautostimdur being more of what I expect as far as results go.
Also, they are only used in event related and AB designs, not blocked, correct?
