Values in small caps and circled indicate parameters to be specified. (A) Simulation dimension is determined by the number of subjects, time points (and seconds per time point), and voxels (representing a number of selected sources). (B) Time courses are the sum of task block, task event, and unique event time series modeled into a blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) TC and normalized. (C) Spatial maps are selected, translated, rotated, resized, and normalized. (D) The no-noise data combines the TCs and SMs scaled by component amplitudes, and scaled to a tissue type weighted baseline. (E) The final dataset includes motion and noise.
