Dear SPM,
This is Jeng-Ren Duann from Lab. of Functional Brain
Imaging of Veterans General Hospital - Taipei. We are now trying the fMRI
analysis with event-related module. There are many problems occurred during the
process. We have designed a paradigm with single trial (one trial type only)
according to the design in the paper of Josephs (1997). The interscan interval
is 2 secs, there are 15 scans during one trial, and the trial is repeated for 8
times. We tried to analyze the data with event-related module of Fourier
sequences harmonics, but we did not know how to set the parameter for every
field appropriately. Can you give us an example for the parameter setting when
we use the Fourier sequences harmonics? In addition, what is the physical
meanings of the basis function of Fourier sequences harmonic analogized to the
brain system? And what's the occasion for us to apply this module in the ER-fMRI
data?
Sincerely,
Jeng-Ren Duann
