# featdesign.py - The FEATFSFDesign class, and a few other things.

"""This module provides the :class:`FEATFSFDesign` class, which encapsulates
a FEAT design matrix.
The :class:`FEATFSFDesign`` class is intended to be used to access the design
matrix for a FEAT analysis. The main reason for using the ``FEATFSFDesign``
class, instead of just using the design matrix loaded directly from the
``[analysis].feat/design.mat`` file, is because FEAT supports voxelwise EVs,
where the contents of the design matrix will differ for each voxel in the
analysis. For all voxelwise EVs (confound or otherwise), the design matrix (in
``design.mat``) contains a dummy column which contains the mean across all
voxels. The :meth:`FEATFSFDesign.getDesign`` method will return an
appropriate design matrix for a specific voxel.
Explanatory variables in a FEAT design
--------------------------------------
A FEAT design matrix may contain the following types of explanatory variables:
- *Normal* EVs. This is simply a column in the design matrix, defined by the
user.
- *Temporal derivative* of normal EVs. A column in the design matrix
containing the derivative of a normal EV. The presence of a temporal
derivative EV for a given normal EV can be determined by the ``deriv_yn``
flag in the ``design.fsf`` file.
- *Basis function* EV. One or more columns derived from a normal EV. A normal
EV with the ``convolve`` value set to ``4``, ``5``, or ``6`` will be
followed by a set of basis function EVs (the number of additional EVs can
be determined by the ````basisfnum`` flag).
- *Voxelwise* EVs. An EV with different values for each voxel. An EV with the
``shape`` value set to ``9`` is a voxelwise EV. The voxel data will be
stored in a file in the FEAT directory called ``designVoxelwiseEVN.nii.gz``
(where ``N`` is the EV number, relative to the order in which the EVs were
set up by the user).
A FEAT design matrix will contain EVs of the above types, followed by the
following types of *confound* EVs:
- *Voxelwise confound* EVs. These are confound EVs with different values for
each voxel. If the design matrix contains confound EVs, two additional
files will be present in the FEAT directory, ``vef.dat`` and
``ven.dat``. The ``vef.dat`` file contains a list of comma separated file
names, which are paths to the confound images (these should be in the FEAT
directory, and called ``InputConfoundEVN.nii.gz``). ``ven.dat`` is a list
of comma separated integers, specifying the column number (starting from 1)
of each voxelwise confound EV in the final design matrix.
- *Motion parameter* EVs. The user can choose to add 6 or 24 motion
parameters as regressors to the design matrix. If the ``motionevs`` value
in ``design.fsf`` is set to ``1``, then 6 motion EVs are added; if
``motionevs`` is ``2``, then 24 motion EVs are added.
- *Confound* EVs. These are any other EVs added by the user.
The following functions, defined in this module, will analyse a FEAT analysis
to determine the contents of its design matrix (these functions are called by
the :meth:`FEATFSFDesign.__init__` method, but may be called directly):
.. autosummary::
:nosignatures:
getFirstLevelEVs
getHigherLevelEVs
These functions return a list containing one instance of the following classes
for each column in the design matrix:
.. autosummary::
:nosignatures:
NormalEV
TemporalDerivativeEV
BasisFunctionEV
VoxelwiseEV
ConfoundEV
MotionParameterEV
VoxelwiseConfoundEV
