Background:

Multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) is key for brain state decoding in fMRI.
Rapid event-related designs in fMRI lead to overlapping blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals, complicating trial-specific response identification.
Accurate estimation of voxel-specific hemodynamic response functions (HRF) is crucial for effective MVPA, especially in rapid designs.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel regularization framework, mixed L2 norm regularization, for improved HRF estimation in rapid event-related fMRI experiments.
To enhance the accuracy of brain state decoding by improving the reliability of computational models.
To investigate the impact of low-frequency fluctuations and smoothing on rapid event-related fMRI analyses.
