Dear Ashish

You can use the bayesian 1st level estimation (see screenshot) this corresponds to the method implemented in Penny et al 2005. I would of course suggest that you record pulse and respiration, and use nuisance variable regression instead, as described in Lund et al. 2006.

Dear SPM users

I am using the Multiband EPI sequence for the acquisition of my fmri data, and i have multiple sessions in which the TR ranges from 2s to 265 ms. But at short TR's the one-back autoregressive model will underestimate the autocorrelation in the fmri signal and may result in inflated t scores.
Is it possible to change the order of the autoregressive model.

I want to use the Short TR's to model single events of 500 ms duration. Is it possible to do such kind of analysis using spm.


Thanks
Ashish
