Thank you so much Doug! I just have one more question:

Before convolving regressors with HRF, I looked at X matrix and noticed
that the values of regressors have been changed/scaled. For example, the
original values in a regressor file are:

134.8300
0
141.1200
0
91.5310
0
96.1870
0

But they have been apparently shifted by a constant value in the X matrix:

91.8168
-43.0132
98.1068
-43.0132
48.5178
-43.0132
53.1738
-43.0132

Why is there such a change in the regressor values?

Thanks,
Reza

You can use the following matlab code. You can ignore the warning
printed after the toepliz operation. The OriginalRegressor should be a
vector of length Ntp, then write out the NewRegressor to a new external
regressor file.

TR=2; % seconds

Ntp=100;
t = TR*[0:Ntp-1]';

h = fast_spmhrf(t);

a = zeros(Ntp,1); a(1) = 1;
X = toeplitz(h,a);

NewRegressor = X*OriginalRegressor;
