Passive word listening
fMRI example One session Time series of BOLD responses in one voxel Passive word listening versus rest 7 cycles of rest and listening Each epoch 6 scans with 7 sec TR Stimulus function Question: Is there a change in the BOLD response between listening and rest?

Make inferences about effects of interest
Why modelling? Why? Make inferences about effects of interest Decompose data into effects and error Form statistic using estimates of effects and error How? Stimulus function effects estimate statistic linear model data error estimate

Overview General linear model:
Partition data into effects (of interest and no interest) and error Model error using variance components Ordinary Least-Squares (Restricted) Maximum-Likelihood t-contrast: tests for single dimension in parameter space F-contrast: tests for multiple dimensions inference at first or second level (fixed or random effects) over conditions or groups: main effect, difference, interaction: average over time window parametric modulation with extrinsic variable power comparison in time-frequency domain Inference Classical statistics Hypothesis test using contrast

General Linear Model = +
Model is specified by Design matrix X Assumptions about e N: number of scans p: number of regressors

Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator
Parameter estimation Assume iid error = + residuals Estimate parameters Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator such that minimal

autoregressive process of order 1 (AR(1))
Serial correlation with autoregressive process of order 1 (AR(1)) autocovariance function COMPUTATIONAL EFFICIENCY To test a hypothesis a lot of images (on the order of 104) are accessed. Acceptable for interpolated channel data, but probably not for source reconstructed 3D-data. For fMRI, this procedure is ok, because there are not really many hypotheses (HRF up or HRF down + differences/interactions) For EEG, there are many more hypotheses to test, because there are many potential different hypotheses Some hypotheses cannot be tested with conventional model: any contrasts with lots of different regressors at 2nd level!!
