You can download a copy of Lisa and Apoorva's talks here: [[attachment:Design.ppt]] [[attachment:Efficiency.ppt]] <<BR>>


__'''Web Resources'''__<<BR>>

Below is a list of web resources used in the talk <<BR>>

[[attachment:HensonSPM06.pdf|Henson SPM 06]]<<BR>>
 Rik Henson's article. Also on the imaging wiki.

[[attachment:Stochastic.pdf|Stochastic Designs]]<<BR>>
 This is one of the old Friston papers looking at stochastic designs in event related designs. It has a clear explanation of efficiency that is worth a read.

[[attachment:TradeOff.pdf|Liu Trade-off Paper]]<<BR>>
 Thomas Liu's article on the fundamental trade-offs between estimation and detection. Must read.

[[attachment:GeneticAlgorithms.pdf|Tor Wager's article on Genetic Algoirthms]]<<BR>>

 
 The background on efficiency issues is worth a read even if you are not interested in Genetic Algorithms.

See also DesignEfficiency pages on the imaging wiki.
