Abstract text: This chapter begins with an overview of the various types of experimental design, before proceeding to various modelling choices, such as the use of events versus epochs. It then covers some practical issues concerning the effective temporal sampling of BOLD responses and the problem of different slice acquisition times. The final and main part of the chapter concerns the statistical efficiency of fMRI designs, as a function of Stimulus Onset Asynchrony (SOA) and the ordering of different stimulus-types. These considerations allow researchers to optimise the efficiency of their fMRI designs.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has.

PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions.

Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy.

If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
