Functional imaging
------------------

Prolonged quasi-natural auditory stimulation (Forrest Gump audio movie)

Eight approximately 15 min long recording runs, together comprising the entire
duration of a two-hour presentation of an audio-only version of the Hollywood
feature film "Forrest Gump" made for a visually impaired audience (German
dubbing).

For each run, there are 4D volumetric images (160x160x36)in NIfTI format , one
volume recorded every 2 s, obtain from a Siemens MR scanner at 7 Tesla using a
T2*-weighted gradient-echo EPI sequence (1.4 mm isotropic voxel size). These
images have partial brain coverage — centered on the auditory cortices in both
brain hemispheres and include frontal and posterior portions of the brain.
There is no coverage for the upper portion of the brain (e.g. large parts of
motor and somato-sensory cortices).

Several flavors of raw and preprocessed data are available:

Raw BOLD functional MRI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bold_raw.tar ~80GB]

These raw data suffer from severe geometric distortions.

Filename examples for subject 001 and run 001

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/bold.nii.gz
  BOLD data

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/bold_dicominfo.txt
  Image property dump from DICOM conversion


Raw BOLD functional MRI (with applied distortion correction)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bold_dico_task001.tar ~74GB]

Identical to raw BOLD data, but with a scanner-side correction for geometric
distortions applied (also include correction for participant motion). These
data are most suitable for analysis of individual brains.

Filename examples for subject 001 and run 001

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/bold_dico.nii.gz
  BOLD data

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/moco_ref.nii.gz
  Reference volume used for motion correction. Only runs 1 and 5
  (first runs in each session)

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/bold_dico_dicominfo.txt
  Image property dump from DICOM conversion


Raw BOLD functional MRI (linear anatomical alignment)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bold_algnd_grpbold7Tad_lin_task001.tar ~85GB]

These images are motion and distortion corrected and have been anatomically
aligned to a BOLD group template image that was generated from the entire group
of participants.

Alignment procedure was linear (image projection using an affine
transformation).  These data are most suitable for group-analyses and
inter-individual comparisons.

Filename examples for subject 001 and run 001

./sub001/BOLD/task001_run001/bold_dico_dico7Tad2grpbold7Tad.nii.gz

Raw BOLD functional MRI (non-linear anatomical alignment)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bold_algnd_grpbold7Tad_nonlin_task001.tar ~91GB]

These images are motion and distortion corrected and have been anatomically
aligned to a BOLD group template image that was generated from the entire group
of participants.

Alignment procedure was non-linear (image projection using an affine
transformation with additional transformation by non-linear warpfields).
These data are most suitable for group-analyses and inter-individual
comparisons.
