Web ResourcesBR
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/ Henson SPM 06]BR
- Rik Henson's article (printable version). Also on the imaging wiki.
[http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/karl_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.
[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2003.09.031/ Liu Trade-off Paper]BR
- Thomas Liu's article on the fundamental trade-offs between estimation and detection. Must read.
[http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/WagerNichols.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.
