Designing studies
There are many important issues that need to be considered when designing an fMRI experiment, at many different levels.
General principles
DesignBasics - some ideas on asking the right kinds of scientific questions with fMRI
DesignEfficiency - considerations on how to construct an imaging experiment that has sufficient power
Choosing your MRI acquisition
You'll probably use our [:ImagingSequences:default MRI sequences]. However, you might want to use another protocol (for example, to change the number of slices) but you must discuss it with the Radiographers. If you're doing anything exotic, you should also contact the Physicists (Marta, Stefan or Rhodri).
Also of interest
