+ "Define the model\n----------------\n\nNow, let's define the model pipeline.\n\nWe first center the features, since we will not use an intercept. Indeed, the\nmean value in fMRI recording is non-informative, so each run is detrended and\ndemeaned independently, and we do not need to predict an intercept value in\nthe linear model.\n\nHowever, we prefer not to normalize by the standard deviation of each\nfeature. Indeed, if the features are extracted in a consistent way from the\nstimulus, there relative scale is meaningful. Normalizing them independently\nfrom each other would remove this meaning. Moreover, the wordnet features are\none-hot-encoded, which means that each feature is either present (1) or not\npresent (0) in each sample. Normalizing one-hot-encoded features is not\nrecommended, since it would scale disproportionately the infrequent features.\n\n"
