fMRI acquisition parameters used in this experiment. All EPI scans implemented ascending slice acquisition order and used a 10% inter-slice gap to minimize cross-slice excitation.

Acquisition resolution	Field of view (FoV)	Acquisition matrix	GRAPPA accel. factor	Phase encoding
0.8 mm iso	128×166.4 mm (AP×LR)	160×208, 32 slices	4	L–R
1.4 mm iso	196 mm	140×140, 32 slices	3	A–P
2.0 mm iso	200 mm	100×100, 37 slices	2	A–P
3.0 mm iso	198 mm	66×66, 37 slices	2	A–P
