Dear SPM users

Let me clarify my question in more details.

Suppose we have the ERP data of one condition only. According to the GUI of SPM, we first select the Kind of model as per our data and then we select the time window. Now in the "between Trial effects", since we have only one condition data, we put 1 there and therefore don't model any condition.

In this case after filling in the other required buttons and clicking in invert DCM we can have a model fitted to one condition data. Similarly I can fit another model and then compare the model fits by BMS for many other models and find the best fit.

If my understanding is correct, in this way if somebody is not interested in between trial effects, then one can find an optimum model for one condition.

Please let me know if i am wrong to take this approach.

regards
Raj

Dear DCM experts

We were performing a experiment on patients where we could collect ERP data for only one condition. 
Now we want to construct various family of models and see which model best fits the data of that condition. Finally we want to get the connection strength of the winning model.

Can we do it for only one condition?
How can we do it ?

Raj
