Data of pilot experiment for the fast fMRI project

This BIDS dataset contains data collected at 7T in 12 subjects, one session each. Each subject was shown naturalistic images from the categories faces, objects, places and scrambled at a pair of presentation rates selected from {0.5s, 1s, 2s, 4s}, with a fixed (0.35s) or relative (75% of SOA) stimulus duration. Each run used one SOA and one duration type. Runs included a 6s ramp-up and 10s cool-down. Participants performed a fixation color-change task. TR=0.5s. No null trials were used.

We used a total of 192 stimuli (48 per category), with each stimulus repeated 2, 4, 8 and 16 times in the 4s, 2s, 1s and 0.5s conditions, respectively.

Notes

The JSON sidecar files contain information about the presentation rate used in each run (key: SOA).

participants.tsv contains more information on which subject was shown which stimulus duration, but this can also be inferred from the stimulus durations in the events.tsv files.

Derivatives

• derivatives/basic_preproc_v2 custom preprocessing (motion correction, distortion correction with PA EPIs, alignment to T1w and MNI). Outputs include space-T1w and space-MNI preprocessed BOLD, masks, and transforms.
• derivatives/localizer localizer-based maps/ROIs
• derivatives/single_trial_betas contains single trial beta estimates for each subject and analysis results
• derivatives/atlases auxiliary atlases and masks (Harvard-Oxford, Neurosynth LOC, object parcels).
• derivatives/decoding pairwise decoding accuracy maps per SOA.
• derivatives/spose_rsa searchlight RSA (SPoSE/object-dimensions) results.
