Parametric modulation

The problem of constrained modeling of parametric modulation across events, allowing for flexible relationship between signal and parameter.

Subversion repository

At: http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/svn/cbumethods/parameters/trunk

For example:

svn co http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/svn/cbumethods/parameters/trunk parameters

Then edit some file.

Then:

svn commit -m 'A comment'

And:

cd parameters; svn update

to get the latest repository data into your working copy in the parameters subdirectory.

Work so far

The event-related study of Brett et al:

Parametric modulation approach described in:

The dataset

Described in Brett et al abstract and poster above.

Visual checkerboard events at random intervals. Sessions for which events are rapid (mean ISI 1 second) to slow (mean ISI 10 seconds). Evidence that interval between current and last event influences height and possibly shape of response. We wanted to be able to fit a curve relating the height of the event to the parametric modulator of time since last event.

We used region of interest time courses from the visual cortex to stabilize the signal.

Code so far

Implemented in matlab, by Ferath and Ian. No modeling of

Ian has written a technical note in latex:

and the current pdf version is at:

Approach to problem

  • Proper modeling of autocorrelation - maybe using R routines
  • Modeling on ROI time-courses
  • Model individual events, and constrain to have smooth relationship to paramter

Plan

  • Reimplement model for ROI time course in NIPY - done - see
  • Address autocorrelation

See WorkingOutNipy for musings on the code structure of NIPY
