In an effort to create a protocol that would have minimal impact on current work-flow, while still effectively removing task-irrelevant contextual information, the protocol was designed following an in-depth consultation with management and forensic staff.
Based on previous studies suggesting a linear superposition of task activity and spontaneous BOLD fluctuations, removing task-induced variance of event-related fMRI data should yield a remaining residual signal similar to 'continuous' resting state data (e.g., Fox et al., 2006).
If you still find yourself making frequent mental checklists of everything you need to do when you're home, pull out your priority list so you can add, revise, or remove tasks and steps.
Agents continually add and remove tasks as other agents find higher valued sequences with that task.
Here, we employed an orthogonalization method to remove task-related effects from intrinsic BOLD fluctuations [46].
However, procedural modifications (e.g. trap table task) may not only remove task constraints but also simplify the problem conceptually.
To remove task effects, general linear models were run (including all task conditions and the movement parameters) and the residual images were saved for subsequent intrinsic functional connectivity analyses.
Remove task oriented statements.
The proposed task scheduler allows removing any task from the queue according to task ID and regardless of the actual position of the task within the queue, which is important for flexibility of the scheduler for its future extensions.
