__'''Web Resources'''__[[BR]]

Below is a list of web resources used in the talk [[BR]]

[attachment:HensonSPM06.pdf Henson SPM 06][[BR]]
 Rik Henson's article. Also on the imaging wiki.

[attachment:Stochastic.pdf Stochastic Designs][[BR]]
 This is one of the old Friston papers looking at stochastic designs in event related designs. It has a clear explanation of efficiency that is worth a read.

[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2003.09.031/ Liu Trade-off Paper][[BR]]
 Thomas Liu's article on the fundamental trade-offs between estimation and detection. Must read.

[attachment:Genetic Algorithms.pdf Tor Wager's article on Genetic Algoirthms][[BR]]
 The background on efficiency issues is worth a read even if you are not interested in Genetic Algorithms.

See also DesignEfficiency pages on the imaging wiki.
