Task period

Definition: In an experiment, task period refers to the time interval during which the participant is engaged in a particular activity or experimental condition that is designed to evoke a hemodynamic response in the brain. The task period is often preceded and followed by a baseline or rest period, and task and rest periods are typically repeated several times throughout the experiment.
