Fig. 1. Results of Experiment 1. (a) the raw classification images, (b) the classification images filtered with a smooth low-pass (Butterworth) filter with a cutoff at 3 cycles per letter, and (c) the best matches between the filtered classification images and 11,284 letters, each resized and cut to fill a square window in the two possible ways. For (b), we squeezed pixel intensities within 2 standard deviations from the mean. Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 3

What is BrainStat? • Based on FMRISTAT (Matlab) • Written in Python (open source) • Part of BrainPy (Poster 763 T-AM) • Concentrates on statistics • Analyses both magnitudes and delays (latencies) • P-values for peaks and clusters uses latest random field theory
Details • Input data is motion corrected and preferably slice timing corrected • Output is complete hierarchical mixed effects ReML analysis (local AR(p) errors at first stage) • Spatial regularization of (co)variance ratios chosen to target 100 df (Poster 610 M-PM) • P-values for peaks and clusters are best of • Bonferroni • random field theory • discrete local maxima (Poster 539 T-AM)
Methods • Slice timing and motion correction by FSL • AR(1) errors on each run • For each subject, 2 runs combined using fixed effects analysis • Spatial registration to 152 MNI by FSL • Subjects combined using mixed effects analysis • Repeated for all contrasts of both magnitudes and delays

Conclusions • Strong overall %BOLD increase of 3±0.5% • Substantial subject variability (sd ratio ~8) • Evidence for greater %BOLD response for different sentences (0.5±0.1%) • Evidence for greater latency for different sentences (0.16±0.04 secs) • Event design is better for delays • Block design is better for overall magnitude
