Dear Randy,

I was wondering if there is any setting that needs to be considered for the rapid event-related fMRI (e.g., the TR of .800 ms for example).

Also, in the FAQ section, the following has been stated:

f you selected "Use HRF instead of Block length", we adopted some feature from SPM. Instead of only using 1 time bin, SPM  increases the Microtime resolution 16 times. This may bring  some benefit if you input decimal onset time directly, though  eventually the length of convolved onsets is still the number  of scans (i.e. one scan is still the smallest unit). If you  input decimal onset time directly, please make sure that your  slices must be in sequential order rather than interleaved  order. Also, please make sure that your slices must be in  ascending order (i.e. 1st slice is at bottom) instead of  descending order or rounding order. Otherwise, you must enter  integer for the onset time.

Does that mean if our scaning is interleaved and we are using the block length, we have to enter the integer without any decimals for onset times OR the PLS will use the "round" function even if we put the decimals. 
 
Appreciate your answers,
 
All the best,
Maryam

If you use block length, PLS will round the decimals

Thanks alot for your answer.

Would you also be able to let me know if there are any settings that needs to be considered if we are having short TR, e.g., 800ms?

Apprecaite your time,

Best,

M
