[Freesurfer] fsfast: using an empirically derived HRF with mkanalysis-sess

2014-09-14 Thread Alex Kell
hi freesurfers,

i would like to use an empirically derived HRF with mkanalysis-sess.  i
have derived the HRF i want [via an FIR model], but it's not obvious how i
can use my custom HRF with mkanalysis-sess.

one option, it seems, is to feed in my own regressors with the -taskreg
flag and then not supply the model with any other regressors of interest.
 i'd just convolve stick regressors that have the appropriate timing with
my own HRF.  but this would only work if selxavg3-sess does NOT convolve
task regressors with the HRF.

so two questions:

1. is the -taskreg flag the best way to do this?  is there another, better
way?

2. does selxavg3-sess convolve task regressors with the HRF?


thanks,
alex

and one point of clarification: i only care about beta weights for each
condition of interest, so i don't care that -taskreg would only run an
F-test for significance maps and wouldn't give me t maps for each regressor
of interest.


thanks again,
alex

Yea, I think so. I think i added some capability to spec custom HRFs, 
but it was a long time ago and might not have make the conversion to 
version 5

No, it does not, so you're good to go.



thanks,
