What do I need to do MVPA?
 An fMRI experiment with an appropriate design
 Almost any modern computer
 PyMVPA software
Experiment design
 As many trials as possible to train the classifier
Experiment design
 As many trials as possible to train the classifier
 Clear BOLD pattern resulting from each trial

PyMVPA
Gathering Your Tools
Why PyMVPA
 Alternative toolbox: Princeton MVPA toolbox
http://code.google.com/p/princeton-mvpa-toolbox/
 PyMVPA is free and open-source, does not require Matlab
 Well-maintained and flexible
 Python is great once you get used to it
 I know how to use it
Python
 An interpreted, modern
programming language
 Produces very clear, easy to read
code
 Object-oriented
 Extensive scientific computing
modules available for python
(scipy, nipy, etc.)
Brief python demo
 Python command line
 Python scripting
 iPython
Gathering Your Tools
 Install PyMVPA: http://www.pymvpa.org
 Version .4x versus .6x
 Linux: Very easy, just type one command
 Windows:
 Mac: Instructions on website will only install .4x. To install .6x
follow my guide:
 http://www.jonaskaplan.com/lab/pymvpainstallation.php
Gather Your Ingredients
Ingredients
 1 4-dimensional functional data file, motion-corrected
 This should be all of your data from one subject. If you did
multiple scans, concatenate them into one single 4D file, all
motion corrected to the same volume

Ingredients
 1 4-dimensional functional data file, motion-corrected
 This should be all of your data from one subject. If you did
multiple scans, concatenate them into one single 4D file, all
motion corrected to the same volume
 1 text file which contains “attributes”:
 Column 1 labels each volume with a “target” category
 Column 2 labels each volume with a “chunk”, e.g. scan
 1 Mask file in the functional space

Getting started with pymvpa
 Start python or ipython
 Import the pymvpa module and explore it
Sample dataset
 Subject saw nine different 5-second video clips: dog, cow,
rooster, violin, piano, bass, vase, chainsaw, coins
 One single volume acquired 7 seconds after the start of the
clip
 Eight scans, each stimulus seen 3 times in each scan (24
times across the experiment)
Getting started with pymvpa
 Read in your attributes
 Create a dataset
Mappers
 Mappers transform data samples
 Dataset automatically maps data from 4D to 2D
 Many mappings are reversible
Data pre-processing steps
 Detrending
 Z-scoring
Partitioners
 Used to split the data into training set and testing set
 HalfPartitioner()
 OddEvenPartitioner()
 NFoldPartitioner()
Choosing a classifier algorithm
• Nearest neighbor
• Support Vector Machine (SVM)
• Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)
• Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB)
• Sparse Multinomial Linear Regression (SMLR)

Choosing a classifier algorithm
Support Vector Machine
 Draws a hyperplane to separate the categories,
maximizing the margin between classes
Support Vector Machine
Support Vector Machine
• Draws a hyperplane to separate the categories,
maximizing the margin between classes
• Works quickly with on large feature sets (lots of voxels)
• Common in fMRI pattern learning literature
• Binary classifier
• Linear version chosen (very little advantage to nonlinear
SVM with lots of features and few stimuli)
