Hi Doug, Sorry to follow this topic with a delay but we tried to model BOLD signal undershoot with a gamma function and we failed. The problem is, gamma function generates positive values and we can NOT use "inverse gamma function" (or otherfunction similar to that) as a part of mkanalysis-sess (for modeling BOLD signal undershoot). We even used matlab gammafit to estimate parameters and it said that values should be positive otherwise gammafit function fails. Do you have any suggestion?

yes, that is what you want. The only other way that comes to mind is to model each event type as two event types one delayed relative to the other. Then model the responseto each as a gamma. If the delay is right, then the first gamma should model the main positive response and the second gamma will model the negative response. both will be independent from the other.

I think I figured it out but I want to double check. I am generating group-average map for my subjects using isxconcat-sess command which generates ces maps for each time frame. I think these maps are what I wanted. Right? If you still have other solutions that you think may generate more reliable results, I am eager to know. For instance, is there anyway to fit a model as we do for spmhrf or fslhrf, but just for the negative peak?
Regards
That's the problem Doug. I have already generated the FIR model but how
can I show the sig MAP for one "particulat time point". What are the other ways?

Hi Shahin, there are several ways that you could do it. The one that
immediately comes to mind is to use an FIR and then test for a difference at a particular post stimulus time point. doug

Hi,
I want to generate a map to show the significant differencebetween HRF undershoot (negative peak of activity) between two conditions independent from the positive peak. Is there anyway, to generate this map?
P.S.: Please note that I need a map and not a time course graph.
