Coding trial funding sources can be complex, and it may not always be clear to what degree different funders played a part in a given study.
As with other rater-based observational coding methodologies, each study needs a number of practice trials, in order to assess initial interrater agreement, routinely having raters code the same stimuli and recoding by the same rater of previously coded trials to check for drift in codes both between and within raters (Jacobs et al., 1988).

Summary or contrast images for the regressor coding correct trials during semantic decisions on words relative to fixation were generated in all subjects.
Six vectors coded for head motion during the scan (three rotations and three transformations), two coded for drift in the MR signal (linear and second order) and one coded for trials in which the participant made no response.
Among other things, the new code prohibits trials in absentia.
Additional regressors coded for trials in which errors were made.
