[pymvpa] classification project

[J.A. Etzel]

This is far too general of a question: which steps are necessary depends 
upon the precise hypothesis you're testing with the analysis. I can 
easily think of a half dozen analysis schemes appropriate in various 
situations.

You should start by making your hypothesis as concrete as possible. For 
example, are you interested in widespread activity, or activity in 
particular brain areas only? Are you interested in activity during 
particular times during the clips, or some sort of temporally averaged 
activity?

There are many useful tutorials; the ones by Pereira, Mur, and (if I say 
so myself) Etzel are good starting points.

good luck,
Jo
