Fig 2. Overview of trial and MRS acquisition timing.
Trial timing (top): Each trial had a total length of 5s and begun with a short onset jitter of 0–0.29 s, followed by a cue (0.5s) and a jittered inter stimulus interval (ISI) of 0.8 to 1.3s. The stimuli were presented for 0.5s followed by a maximum response interval of 2.2s and an inter trial interval (ITI) of 0.2 to 0.5s. MRS acquisition (bottom): We collected two MRS acquisitions for each trial (2.5s)—an early epoch, covering the cue, the attention shift phase and part of the stimuli, and a late epoch covering the rest of the trial.
