These data were used to produce the following papers: Furl N, Henson RN, Friston KJ, Calder AJ. 2013. Top-down control of visual responses to fear by the amygdala. J Neurosci 33:17435-43. Furl N, Henson RN, Friston KJ, Calder AJ. 2015. Network Interactions Explain Sensitivity to Dynamic Faces in the Superior Temporal Sulcus. Cereb Cortex 25:2876-82. This dataset contains 19 participants worth of functional magnetic resonance imaging data (found in the folder fMRI_data). The first subject is the pilot participant. The data are in the DICOM format, native to the scanner. This format will be readable by any conventional fMRI image processign software (e.g., SPM). SPM is free but relies on the commercial software MATLAB. See "related rescources" link to download SPM as well as a free programme called MRIcron, which can be used to view the files for free. This dataset also contains associated data files created by the computer programme running the experiment (in MATLAB using the MATLAB library known as Cogent). The MATLAB functions (*.m files) for running the experiment and creating the data as well as the stimulus data. The cogent library used can also be found in this folder. This dataset also contains the programme output files. These associated text files contain information about the stimuli and conditions shown on each trial and the timing of these stimuli that can be used to analyse and interpret the fMRI data. Some participants underwent a behavioural task out of the scanner, immediately after scanning. The methods and results of this task are described in Furl et al. (2013). This experiment aimed to validate the stimuli used in the fMRI experiment. For more information on Cogent: http://www.vislab.ucl.ac.uk/cogent.php Descriptions of individual archive files: paradigm_code.zip The experimental paradigm was controlled by cogent, a suite of functions for MATLAB. Cogent is included within this archive. Also included are the programmes written in cogent that run the localiser and experimental runs and the facial stimuli we used. All matlab (*.m) files can be viewed as text files, although they can only be run by MATLAB, which is commerical software. The faces can be viewed in Windows Media Player or any comparable software. The static images can be viewed in any image viewing software. Using MATLAB and this archive, the experiment can be reproduced. fMRI_paradigm_output.zip This archive contains the output files created by the programmes in paradigm_code.zip at the time that the fMRI data were collected. For each participant, three types of files were created, log res and mat files, all of which are archived in separate directories. Log files and res files are stored in text format. Mat files contain the MATLAB programming workspace and is in a binary file format that requires MATLAB. Any of these files can be used to analyse the data, but the res files (in text format) are best organised for that purpose. For fMRI data analysis, the most important information in these files is the stimulus (movie) that was presented on each trial and the time at which the stimulus was presented. The res folder also contains a matlab *.mat file in which is stored a cell array holding all the onset times for all the participants, extracted from the res files. Please note that, even though some supplementary files are in a MATLAB proprietary format, all analyses can proceed using only the res files in text format, if desired. postscanning_behavioural_experiment.zip This archive contains all information related to the behavioural data collection that was performed in each participant after scanning. The participants viewed the faces in the experiment, rated them for their motion intensity and emotional intensity and classified them as fast as they could by facial expression category. The Cogent file needed to re-run the experiment is included (cogent_rating_v1.m). This is a text file but requires MATLAB (a commercial software) and cogent (found in paradigm_code.zip) to run. The stimuli are also included. Movies can be viewed in movie file viewers such as windows media player. As in fMRI_paradigm_output.zip, the output files for each participant come in the form of res,log and mat files. All the data in these output files are collated and organised in ratings.xls and ratings.txt. fmripilotsub02.zip fmrisubs03to07.zip fmrisubs08to13.zip fmrisubs14to19.zip These files contain the fMRI volumteric 3D data. See "related resources" link to find MRIcron, a free viewer to open these files, and SPM, free software for fMRI data analysis.
