Basis Functions The canonical haemodynamic response function Peak Brief Stimulus Undershoot Initial Peak
Finite impulse response Basis Functions Fourier basis Finite impulse response Gamma functions Informed basis set
Basis Functions Informed Basis Set
Basis Functions Canonical HRF: combination of 2 Gamma functions (best guess of BOLD response)
Basis Functions Canonical HRF: combination of 2 Gamma functions (best guess of BOLD response) Variability captured by Taylor expansion: Temporal derivative (account for differences in the latency of response)
Basis Functions Canonical HRF: combination of 2 Gamma functions (best guess of BOLD response) Variability captured by Taylor expansion: Temporal derivative (account for differences in the latency of response) Dispersion derivative (account for differences in the duration of response)
Basis Functions E.g. rapid motor response to faces Canonical + Temporal + Dispersion + FIR (Henson et al, 2001)

Parametric Modulation
Parametric Modulation (Gläscher & O’Doherty 2010)
Correlated Regressors If 2 parameters, A and B are correlated then the parametrically modulated regressors will also be correlated. Thus trial-by-trial changes in BOLD activation might be due to both the regressors, making it difficult to assign responsibility to one. I.e. they share descriptive variability.
