When you say "The reason that I want to avoid the subtraction of the implicit baseline is that the implicit baseline may include significant neural activity that is related to performing the task." do you mean this extra neural activity itself occurs during the implicit baseline, or the neural activity occurs during the task time intervals/epochs/events, but bleeds into the implicit baseline via the hemodynamic lag? Sounds like you mean the first, but I'm asking for clarification.
Best,
