These data are then further processed via smoothing or convolution to create physiological regressors, which can be incorporated into a generalized linear model framework to explain portions of your fMRI signal attributed to physiological effects. -.._references: +.. _references: References -------------------------------- From 8d91eaafe89d66b3a1d24fb25ccfc45790427b3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kristinazvolanek Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 16:02:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] more minor formatting --- docs/bestpractice.rst | 16 +++++++++------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/bestpractice.rst b/docs/bestpractice.rst index d851f6a2d..6a76b5b49 100644 --- a/docs/bestpractice.rst +++ b/docs/bestpractice.rst @@ -35,17 +35,19 @@ The most common types of physiological data acquired in fMRI analysis are cardia What equipment is needed? --------------------------------------------------- Peripheral devices: -* finger photoplethysmograph (pulse-oximeter) -* respiratory belt -* disposable nasal cannula (or face mask) -* long sample line to connect from the scan room to the control room + +- finger photoplethysmograph (pulse-oximeter) +- respiratory belt +- disposable nasal cannula (or face mask) +- long sample line to connect from the scan room to the control room Some peripheral devices can be passed through a void in the penetration panel from the control room to the scan room (e.g., gas sampling line); others must be plugged into the penetration panel for noise filtering (e.g., some pulse sensors).
