Hi Experts,
I am having a difficult time understanding how the the @ss_review_driver output “num TRs per stim (orig) 111 66 66 103 111 66 66 103” is being calculated for my task. My study has 540 total TRs (2 seconds per TR or 1080 seconds). It is a block design in which the 540 TR task is split in half (540sec or 270TRs each). During each half they repeat a task 3 times. There are 4 conditions (Base 60sec., Script 30sec., Recall 30sec., Rest 60sec.) that make up 1 task. I have a difficult time understanding how the “111 66 66 103…” pattern fits in my dataset.
My script can be seen below, and the timing files are below that at the very end.
Thank you kindly for the time!
I look forward to understanding this better 
Jessica
