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

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

[http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.henson/personal/Henson_SPM_06_preprint.pdf/ Henson SPM 06][[BR]]
 Rik Henson's article (printable version). Also on the imaging wiki.

[http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/karl_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.

[:http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/papers/WagerNichols.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.
