Hi David,
In your case with contrasts defined as 1000, 0100, etc, the PEs and the corresponding COPEs should be the same, so it should not make any difference either using PEs or COPEs. But I don't really understand why you say the PEs would not be independent. Can you explain it a bit more?
Best,Meng

Hi Michael (and all), just a quick clarification on your previous response to my query relating classification based on individual parameter estimates (PEs) - you mentioned I could use the PEs associated with the temporal derivative or even the PEs associated with a set of basis functions....however I wonder that this PEs would not be independent (as would be PEs obtained from different runs)
....would it be okay to use those PEs anyways?
A second related thing is that I have not been using the PEs exactly but the Contrast of PEs (i.e. COPES in FSL)
associated with each EV- I have 16 EVs (8 per class) and hence obtained COPES such that
1000
0100
0010
0001
etc
I dont see why it would make any difference to work wit COPEs rather than PEs, except that only with the later I could boost my dataset by using the temporal derivatives or basis functions....
cheers

Ah, I guess you model each task with two regressors (hrf + derivative?).
You can also use a basis function set and get even more betas...

yes, no problem.
Cheers,
