Introduction
This data is a subset of an ongoing study at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, collecting data from young amateur soccer players while they perform a stop signal task. This data has been as part of a book chapter on event annotation and analysis using tools for hierarchical event descriptors (HED). The data of five participants is made available here.
Content
Within this repository you can find the following data files for each participant, organized according to BIDS (see specification):
- An (anatomical) T1w MRI image
- An (anatomical) T2w MRI image
- Three fieldmap recordings
- The functional MRI recording of the stop signal task
- Behavioural (event) data for the stop signal task
Participant data (age, sex) is available in the participant files (participants.tsv and participants.json). Explanation of the event data and detailed annotations in HED are available in task-soc21gng_events.json.
Data has also been preprocessed using fMRIprep version 21.0.2. Results are available in the derivates directory.
Reports on data quality can be viewed here.
Experiment overview
Participants performed a stop-signal task. They were presented with white arrows, and had to respond by pressing the left or right key on the button box placed in their hand. On some trials the arrow turned red after some delay, meaning that the participants had to stop their response. The participants are young amateur soccer players, who are expected to have high performance on this task. The time between the white arrow appearing and turning red is adapted in a thresholding procedure, in order to create an average performance on the stop-trials of 50%.
