a The systems that we study are often time-varying over multiple scales. b Some systems that we study are composed of canonical trait-like variables that vary across persons, possibly ordered by severity of condition, age, or even an identification number. How do we take these data and from them extract insight? c We can understand the impact of task variables on systems like those displayed in panel a using several approaches including a typical form of a general linear model. d We can also understand the impact of interventions or environmental variables on systems like those displayed in panel b using a similar general linear model.
