Hi, There is a lot info out there about why we should use standardised tasks (eg): http://xwiki.nbirn.net:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Function-BIRN/MultisiteFMRIDevelopment# and other places such as here: http://www.imagilys.com/clinical-fmri-paradigms/ Can anyone point me in the direction of some papers (with the actual tasks included) or a set of such tasks on the web somewhere for use in some research in surgical planning. (ie: motor, sensory, speech, etc). Yes I realise that there are difficulties in making a one-size-fits all approach for such things but surely there is a lowest common denominator for such things. For example there seems to be a consensus that "Finger, Toe, Tongue" tasks for the motor cortex are a "good thing". -- [1] But of course you could deliver this via an auditory system or visual. etc.. FWIW, for now in my current "ghetto-tech" fMRI setup that I bashed together for a Masters student uses OpenOffice to export the tasks to PDF which is then "played back" using auto-advance with a pdf viewer. For simple rArArA type tasks (motor, sensory, visual) it works fine.
