| | ===== Procedure ===== |
| | In case you have a feature (or file format) request, please follow these steps: |
| | |
| | * check whether (and if so since when) the feature/format you wish to request is already on the list below |
| | * write an email to **//info (AT) neuroelf (DOT) net//**, stating the request (or asking to prioritize the request) |
| | * wait for a reply by email and also... |
| | * check back on this page to see if it's on the list or the status has been updated |

| | | multi-study (MDM) dialog enhancements | SCAN Unit | 4/20/2011 | add RunTimeVars.Discard inspection/update feature into dialog; also feature to see condition names from models, options for single-trial GLM and PPI | in pipeline | |
| | | fmriqasheet enhancements/fix | SCAN Unit | 4/20/2011 | 1. percentage of outlier volumes is incorrect; 2.
