The Beta Response vs. Multi-Voxel Pattern Analysis

This project investigates the different information that can be gleaned from looking at the beta response across an ROI vs. the multi-voxel pattern analysis.

Methods

Subjects

Subjects were 5 healthy volunteers.

MR acquisition

Data were obtained on a GE scanner. Et cetera.

MR Analysis

The MR data was analyzed using mrVista software tools.

Equations

If you want to use equations, you can use the same formats that are use on wikipedia.
See wikimedia help on formulas for help.
This example of equation use is copied and pasted from wikipedia's article on the DFT.

The sequence of N complex numbers x₀, ..., x_N−1 is transformed into the sequence of N complex numbers X₀, ..., X_N−1 by the DFT according to the formula:

$X_k=\sum _{n=0}^{N-1}{x}_n{e}^{-\frac{2\pi i}{N}kn}k=0,\dots ,N-1$

where i is the imaginary unit and $e^{\frac{2\pi i}{N}}$ is a primitive N'th root of unity. (This expression can also be written in terms of a DFT matrix; when scaled appropriately it becomes a unitary matrix and the X_k can thus be viewed as coefficients of x in an orthonormal basis.)

The transform is sometimes denoted by the symbol $ℱ$, as in $𝐗=ℱ\left\{𝐱\right\}$ or $ℱ\left(𝐱\right)$ or $ℱ𝐱$.

The inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) is given by

$x_n=\frac{1}{N}\sum _{k=0}^{N-1}{X}_k{e}^{\frac{2\pi i}{N}kn}n=0,\dots ,N-1.$
