Hi,
I have two questions:
1) In an fMRI experiment, we have 64 stimulus conditions and
a baseline condition. All conditions are presented in each run.
After running the analysis:
mkanalysis-sess -a category.rh -surface self rh -fsd bold
-fwhm 3 -event-related -paradigm paradigm_category.par
-nconditions 64 -refeventdur 1 -TR 2 -polyfit 2 -spmhrf 0
-mcextreg -per-run -force
selxavg3-sess -s subj1sess1 -a category.rh
We load beta.nii.gz in Matlab. It has 131546
rows corresponding to the vertices in rh, and 118 columns. The
first 64 columns correspond to the stimulus conditions that we
have. I guess the next 6 columns correspond to the motion
regressors. What are the remaining 48 columns?
There is a nuisance regressor for each run. So the total = 64 +
nruns*nnuisance
2) When we run selxavg3-sess with -run-wise:
selxavg3-sess -s subj1sess1 -a category.rh -run-wise
We have a beta.nii.gz file for each run. But this time, each
beta.nii.gz file has 70 columns. Why the number of columns here
is different from that in the beta file generated without
-run-wise?
In this case, 64 come from the task and 6 are nuisance regressors.
