yes binary classification, using LinearNuSVMC(nu=0.5, probability=0)

full brain with 34000 features

right. TR is 2 sec. so one-(half) samlpe (+features) is added

I did some classifications with features selection (stability analysis; 
# features = 5000) and the results with event duration of 7 sec. are 
still worth compared to the results with (true) event duration of 6 sec. 
I'll to some further classifications (with fewer voxels) and will report.
