+function [sts, out] = pspm_pipeline_fc_scr(fn, missing, onsets, isi, method, normalize, keepfile)
+% ● Description
+% This function runs a standard PsPM pipeline for fear-conditioned SCR,
+% based on the winning methods from the paper de Vries et al. (2026) in
+% preparation. 
+% ● Format
+% [sts, out] = pspm_pipeline_fc_scr(fn, missing, onsets, soa, method,  norm, keepfile)
+% ● Arguments
+% * fn: a PsPM data file name, or cell array of file names
+% * missing: a PsPM epoch file name (set to [] if no missing file), or cell
+%   array of epoch file names
+% * onsets: onset times of all CS (vector), or cell array of onset times
+% * isi: CS-US interval in s (scalar or vector, in the latter case must be
+%        defined for all trials, or cell array)
+% * method: one of '2026_short', '2026_long_uni', '2026_long_bi'. Here, 
+%          'long/short' refer to the isi in de Vries et al. (which was 
+%           3.5 s for 'short', and > 6 s for 'long'), and 'uni/bi' refers 
+%          to unidirectional or bidirectional filtering (where bidirectional 
+%          filtering was slightly better for long ISI in the tested
+%          data sets but can be suboptimal with long inter-trial intervals.
+%          For short ISI, unidirectional filtering was always better).
+% * normalize: [optional] Normalise data. Data are normalised during inversion 
+%         but results are transformed back into raw data units. Default: 0.
+% * keepfile: [optional] Save model file for diagnostic purposes. Default: 0.
+% 
+% ● Outputs
+% * out: trial-by-trial estimate of the conditioned response.
+% ● History
+% Introduced in PsPM 7.2
+% ● References
+% [1] de Vries et al. (2026) forthcoming.
