Dmread
Once the behavioral files have been linked to the appropriate data set, it is possible to take a more detailed look at the run information with dmread command. To provide a full list of run details of the file, type in the command:
dmread behavioral_file
This will provide a full list with the run details of the file. To access any specific section of the list retype the dmread command with the specification at the end as the type number. For example, in order to open the parameter file, type the command:
dmread behavioral_file 22
The file that opens will display the specific run times and protocol that was used during the scan, based on the information entered when running the scan.
A quick revision of the parameter is not the only useful function in the dmread command. The behavioral files can also contain information on the physiological trends of the subject when in the scanner, including respitory oscillation and physio times. All of the information within the behavioral files can be accessed through the dmread command. The type number may seem sporadic, as certain sections may not appear for some paradigm files and will appear for others. The numbers on the far left are simply accounting for all the available sections, whereas the second list of numbers act as the section header.
