Hi David, In your case with contrasts defined as 1000, 0100, etc, the PEs and the corresponding COPEs should be the same, so it should not make any difference either using PEs or COPEs. But I don't really understand why you say the PEs would not be independent. Can you explain it a bit more? Best,Meng

A second related thing is that I have not been using the PEs exactly but the Contrast of PEs (i.e. COPES in FSL) associated with each EV- I have 16 EVs (8 per class) and hence obtained COPES such that 1000 0100 0010 0001 etc I dont see why it would make any difference to work wit COPEs rather than PEs, except that only with the later I could boost my dataset by using the temporal derivatives or basis functions.... cheers ds On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 2:33 PM, Michael Hanke <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, On Tue, Jul 01, 2014 at 12:25:40AM +0100, David Soto wrote: > Hi Michael, indeed ..well done for germany today! :). > Thanks for the reply and the suggestion on KNN > I should have been more clear that for each subject I have the > following *block > *sequences > ababbaabbaabbaba in TASK 1 > ababbaabbaabbaba in TASK 2 > > this explains that I have 8 a-betas and 8 b-betas for each task > AND for each subject..so if i concatenate & normalize all the beta data > across subjects I will have 8 x 19 (subjects)= 152 beta images for class a > and the same for class b Ah, I guess you model each task with two regressors (hrf + derivative?).
