| Description: Flanker task (event-related) |
|
|
| The "NYU Slow Flanker" dataset comprises data collected from 26 healthy |
| adults (age and sex included in Slow_Flanker_age_sex.txt) while they |
| performed a slow event-related Eriksen Flanker task. |
|
|

| it is up to the user to check for data quality (movement etc). |
|
|
| On each trial (inter-trial interval (ITI) varied between 8 s and 14 s; |
| mean ITI=12 s),participants used one of two buttons on a response pad |
| to indicate the direction of a central arrow in an array of 5 arrows. |
| In congruent trials the flanking arrows pointed in the same direction |
| as the central arrow (e.g., < < < < <), while in more demanding |
| incongruent trials the flanking arrows pointed in the opposite |
| direction (e.g., < < > < <). |
|
|
| Subjects performed two 5-minute blocks, each containing 12 congruent |
| and 12 incongruent trials, presented in a pseudorandom order. |
|
|
| Functional imaging data were acquired using a research dedicated Siemens |
| Allegra 3.0 T scanner, with a standard Siemens head coil, located at the |
| NYU Center for Brain Imaging. |
|
|
| We obtained 146 contiguous echo planar imaging (EPI) whole-brainfunctional |
| volumes (TR=2000 ms; TE=30 ms; flip angle=80, 40 slices, matrix=64x64; FOV=192 mm; acquisition voxel size=3x3x4mm) during each of the two flanker task blocks. A high-resolution T1-weighted anatomical image was also acquired using a magnetization prepared gradient echo sequence (MPRAGE, TR=2500 ms; TE= |
| 3.93 ms; TI=900 ms; flip angle=8; 176 slices, FOV=256 mm). |
