you can't just use power analysis as for any other behavioural  
measures - there are issues in fMRI that have to be addressed - this  
package is quite good http://www.fmripower.org/ although based on a  
ROI approach. Indeed, power changes with regions of the brain and  
tools are being dev. (hopefully we will soon be able to use Satoru  
Hayasakas' toolbox see  
http://fmri.wfubmc.edu/cms/talkPowerSampleSizeCalculation)

good luck
