The causal chain of the paper's Fig. 1, from stimulus to measured BOLD signal. Every step is drawn with its
equation and the 1–2 parameters (Table 1 notation) that shape it. The right-hand panel recreates Fig. 4: how the timing of
CBV and CBF relative to CMRO2 produces an initial overshoot, a post-stimulus undershoot or an initial dip.
Solid = current settings; dotted gray = Table 1 defaults for the same stimulus.
