Enum: ConditionKind

What kind of state a condition was, in itself. Open vocabulary: write the source's own wording in the field when nothing here fits.

Intrinsic to the condition and not its role in any one contrast. What a tested effect was measured against is carried by Cell.direction, which a contrast fills for each side; a condition can be the comparator in one analysis and the target in another, and recording that here would make it a property of the wrong thing.

description: 'What kind of state a condition was, in itself. Open vocabulary: write
  the source''s own wording in the field when nothing here fits.

  Intrinsic to the condition and not its role in any one contrast. What a tested effect
  was measured against is carried by `Cell.direction`, which a contrast fills for
  each side; a condition can be the comparator in one analysis and the target in another,
  and recording that here would make it a property of the wrong thing.'

permissible_values:
  task_state:
    text: task_state
    description: An active state the paradigm put the participant in -- viewing cues,
      performing a trial, responding. The default, and the one most conditions are.
  rest:
    text: rest
    description: A period with no task demand, in which the participant was asked
      only to rest. A rest block inside another paradigm; a standalone resting-state
      run is its own Task.
  fixation:
    text: fixation
    description: A period spent fixating a cross or point, with no other demand. Distinguished
      from `rest` because papers report them separately and use them differently.
  control_state:
    text: control_state
    description: A state the source itself calls a control, neutral, or comparison
      condition -- matched to the state of interest on everything but the manipulation.
      Recorded because the source labelled it so, not because a contrast used it that
      way.
