Hi SPM experts,

In my fMRI experiment, participants were instructed to perform motor responses during blocks. These responses, however, were not of interest as the task solely aimed at improving concentration levels. So no timestamps were recorded for these motor responses.

However, in our group analysis, we observed significant effects of these motor responses: all experimental conditions exhibited negative activations in regions of interest. This could potentially be attributed to motor responses between blocks, leading to a higher baseline in the GLM.

Hence, I’m wondering if there are any noise-reduction techniques available to eliminate such noise from the data?

Best,
Luna
