Enum: DesignType¶
How a task's events were modelled in time -- not what the task was or what it showed. Open vocabulary: write the source's own wording in the field when nothing here fits.

rank: 1000
permissible_values:
block:
text: block
description: 'Conditions presented in extended runs of like trials and modelled
as those runs. Covers `blocked`, `block design` and a randomised or alternating
block order: randomisation is how the blocks were sequenced, not a different
design.'
event_related:
text: event_related
description: Individual trials modelled as separate events. Rapid, slow and fast
variants are this design at different inter-stimulus intervals; write the source's
phrase in the field when that distinction matters.
mixed:
text: mixed
description: Both in one run -- events modelled within blocks that are themselves
modelled. Only where the source says it used both, not where a block design
happens to have trials.
continuous:
text: continuous
description: 'No discrete events modelled: resting state, film or music played
through, naturalistic viewing. The task ran continuously and the analysis is
of that run.'
