Block design fMRI modelling¶ Model specification and review¶ This tutorial uses the same auditory data described in the fMRI preprocessing tutorial. Before attempting this tutorial you will need a copy of the preprocessed data. Either follow the steps in the fMRI preprocessing tutorial or download a copy of the preprocessed data from here.

23 mar 2010 · Blocked designs in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are useful to localize functional brain areas. A blocked design consists of different blocks of trials of the same stimulus type and is characterized by three factors: the length of blocks, i.e., number of trials per blocks, the ordering of task and rest blocks, and the time ...
Block design fMRI experiment. A neural response to the state change from A to B in the stimulus is accompanied by a hemodynamic response (as shown in Fig. 1 ) that is detected by the rapid and continuous acquisition of MR images sensitized to BOLD signal changes.

This page tries to address the question of how to design fMRI experiments that are sensitive to (efficient for) a specific hypothesis (i.e, statistical planned comparison or "contrast"). The properties of the BOLD signal measured by fMRI - particularly its "sluggish" nature - can make the design of efficient experiments difficult to intuit.
In a block design, each condition is presented continuously for a period usually longer than 20 seconds. In the earliest fMRI studies (see Kwong, 1992, and Ogawa 1992), one common paradigm was to alternate between 60 second blocks of a flickering visual stimulus, and blocks without stimulation.
