Below is a list of web resources used in the talk BR
[http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.henson/personal/Henson_SPM_06_preprint.pdf/ Rik Henson's article (printable version). Also on the imaging wiki. ]BR
[http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/karl_stochastic.pdf/ 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.]BR
[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2003.09.031/ Thomas Liu's article on the fundamental trade-offs between estimation and detection. Must read.]BR
[:http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/WagerNichols.pdf/ Tor Wager's article on Genetic Algoirthms. The background on efficiency issues is worth a read even if you are not interested in Genetic Algorithms.] BR
