MRI acquisitions¶
This section contains details about the overall organization of the MRI sessions across participants. It provides details about session IDs for every participant, the MRI sequences employed in every session and their imaging parameters. A description about data anomalies is also provided per participant for every session.
For more information about the technical specifications of the MRI equipment used, please consult Section “MRI Equipment” of Pinho et al. 2018 or Pinho et al. 2020.
Organization of the MRI sessions¶
The figure below depicts the temporal organization of runs in terms of MRI sequences within sessions:
Besides, a plan of the MRI sessions undertaken per participant can be found in this figure.
Parameters of the MRI sequences¶
Details of the parameters used for all the MRI sequences employed are provided over the following subsections. The bulk of the data is collected using a SIEMENS MAGNETOM Prisma-fit 3T scanner.
2D Spin-Echo¶
The 2D Spin-Echo maps are used to obtain a model of distortions for EPI images: 2 pairs of AP/PA images are acquired along with each EPI (BOLD or diffusion-weighted) acquisition one at the start and one at the end of each scanner session.
