Information regarding fMRI data acquisition.
The study used multi-echo acquisition to optimize BOLD sequence; AC, anterior commissure; N.a., No information available; N.c., Not clear; SENSE, Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE acceleration factor)—enhancing the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by means of arrays of multiple receiver coils through sensitivity encoding (Pruessmann et al., 1999); R, acceleration factor (or reduction factor); GRAPPA, generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions; iPAT, Integrated Parallel Acquisition Techniques (the iPAT number refers to the image acceleration factor or reduction in the length of the echo train); PC, posterior commissure; (*) in-plane resolution was computed using the formula Field-of-View/Acquisition Matrix; (**) only Field-of-View is reported: 192 × 192, not acquisition matrix nor direct in-plane resolution.
