Hi, list,

    I am new to optseq2 so I really need advices to my questions. We have an 
experiment of 2 factors with 36 trials for each factor, and another 24 null 
trials. So in total we have 96 trials. We also have 3 random jitters which make 
our trials could last for either 4.6, 5 or 5.4 seconds. The total session time 
is thus 480 seconds. Since our TR is 2 seconds, the ntp = 240.

    My questions are: 
    (1) How can I set the psdwin? My intuition is that dPSD should be divided 
by both TR and trial duration. That means we can only have a dPSD = 0.2. Would 
that be too small? I observed that by doing this the largest psdmax is only  2 
seconds. 
    (2) What should I do if I want to break the session into two parts? The 
previous optseq version seems to allow one specify the runs for each sesssion. 
But I did not find this option in optseq2. Can I just use half the trials to 
get two sequences and use them for the two parts? 
   
    Thanks! Your suggestion is appreciated.
