rt-me-fMRI

rt-me-fMRI dataset provides multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data including task-based and resting-state runs to support real-time signal separation, analysis, and methodological development.

Key Features:

• Multi-Echo fMRI Acquisition: Includes multi-echo fMRI sequences enabling separation of physiological and BOLD-related signals for real-time applications.
• Diverse Task and Resting-State Runs: Contains four task-based runs (finger tapping, emotional face and shape matching, imagined finger tapping, imagined emotion processing) and two resting-state runs.

Scientific Applications:

• Real-Time fMRI Method Development: Supports neurofeedback, real-time quality control, and adaptive experimental paradigms based on ongoing brain activity measurements.

Methodology:

The dataset was acquired using multi-echo fMRI protocols with standardized preprocessing and quality control procedures, enabling separation of signal components and validation of real-time fMRI analysis methods.
